Video: Kid President meets the real President - Finally!

Kid President, aka Robby Novak, 9-year-old awesome kid and Internet rockstar, lived the dream today when he got a tour of the Oval Office from President Obama.  It's a real day-maker, even moreso if you know Kid President's backstory.

SoulPancake, brainchild of "The Office's" Rainn Wilson, has had a lot to do with this good stuff zooming around the world.

'Tis better to be wee than massive: the benefits of being small.

Why pay for marketing creative when people walk in out of the blue and hand it to me?  Here's a nifty little (and I do mean little) brochure on the benefits of being small, plunked into my unsuspecting palm this afternoon by Kid4 without warning.

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but the small size means no folding.  Fits right in your pocket.

"Being Small is really amazing! You can fit through ANYTHING!"
Text, illustrations, and a graph; all the bases covered.

(L) Clockwise from top left:  Being small, you can:  walk under big people's legs; walk through small doors; ride on a rat; ride on a dandelion seed; and fit through cracks.
(R) The tall column proves it:  Being small = fitting through more things.
If you're interested in tiny brochure design, I know a guy.  A 10-year-old guy with a supply of index cards.  

When one of the kids shares something like this, I give thanks for the Nth time that I was given the chance to be a mom (and a wife for that matter!)...the chance to be around four unique and creative young people who are all forging their own individual means of self-expression.  And I'm on the sidelines saying, Go Speed Racer, Go!
