Overheard in Washington, D.C.:

Barack and Malia Obama

"Daddy, why don't you want girls under age 15 to have easyt access to 'Plan B' birth control? Young girls do get pregnant, you know, for a lot of reasons, and often it isn't their fault, like when they are being sexually assaulted by a relative. The world isn't a nice place for everyone you know. So why?"

Malia Obama, 14, to her dad the president.

"Uhm, well... shit. I tried to walk a fine line and satisfy all sides of that particular issue, my dear. But most importantly, I set the age at 15 because you are 14. Now go eat your peas."

President Barack Obama (D-Illinois)
