Her: 24

Mrs. G: You know, Obama was responsible for people your age being able to stay on their parents' insurance policies until they are 26.

Her: Are you sure about that? I've never heard anything about that.

Mrs. G: Yes, I'm sure.

Her: Weird.

Mrs. G: .........................

(For physical and mental conservation, who wants to discuss politics at all?)
