If a kid under the age of 10 says ‘watch me doing this!’, the ‘this’ they want you to watch will be absolutely shit.
Just once I’d like it to be ‘watch me doing this!’ and ‘this’ is like a triple backflip.

@girlonthenet may apply to any recent US policy as well, irrespective of the politician's age.

@girlonthenet Yeah, but I still remember being a kid who knew that going down the slide is objectively more fun if your grownup is watching you. No question.

So I guess I get some vicarious fun out of helping that happen now. :)
