SEATTLE — For more than 20 years, kids have been sharing their thoughts on a wide range of topics with KING 5 Evening's Jim Dever. We thought it would be fun to look back at some of the political conversations that have taken place since 1996. Here are some highlights:
(1996)
Jim: What does the First Lady do for a living?
Girl: Take naps.
Jim: No, that's the Vice President's job.

Boy: Lincoln took off his hat and got the mail to the houses.
Jim: Really? Abraham Lincoln had mail in his hat? I thought he had a pet rat named Andy.
Boy: Well, then it wouldn't get any air.
