Over the last week, there have been numerous articles and sites and what have you posting letters from children to President-Elect Obama. They're cute or endearing or message-laden &c. in their own special ways. But I finally found my favorite one today in a NYTimes article.

Dear President Obama,

Here is a list of the first 10 things you should do as president:

1. Fly to the White House in a helicopter.
2. Walk in.
3. Wipe feet.
4. Walk to the Oval Office.
5. Sit down in a chair.
6. Put hand-sanitizer on hands.
7. Enjoy moment.
8. Get up.
9. Get in car.
10. Go to the dog pound.
