A sort of precocious and inquisitive little boy went to his father and asked, 'Dad, what is politics?'
His Dad replied, "Well, son, let me try to explain it this way. . .I am the head of the family, so call me the president. Your mother is takes care of all the household chores and the money, so call her the government. Mom and I are here to take care of you and your needs, so we will call you the people. The nanny can be considered the working class, and your baby brother, can be called the future. Now think about all of that and see if it makes sense to you."
So the little boy went off to bed thinking about what his Dad had said.
Later that night, he heard his baby brother crying, so he got up to check on him. He found that the baby evidently must have had diarrhea because the diaper was loaded with plenty of fecal matter which must have made him really uncomfortable. So, the little boy went to his parents' room where he found his mother very sound asleep. Not wanting to awaken her because the last time he did, he got yelled at, he went to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeked into the keyhole, and saw his father in bed with the nanny. Being just a kid and not knowing what else to do, he went back to his bed.
The next morning, the little boy told his father, 'Dad, I think I now understand politics.' The father said, 'Very good, son. So tell me what you think politics is all about.' The little boy replied, 'The president is screwing the working class while the government is sound asleep. The people are being ignored, and the future is in deep shit.'
