Decorative flags

So... my mom puts out seasonal decorative flags.   I personally don't like them, but the girls LOVE THEM.  B came up to me very upset and said that "Nana put out the St. Patrick's flag."  Now, I thought this would be the highlight of her day.  This particular flag has been her favorite every time she finds the stash of flags.  I was certain it was happy dance time. 

I took one look at her face and knew I was wrong.  "But she didn't celebrate presidents day with a flag."   Here is where I could say "Let's buy her one."  Instead - I asked her what we should do about it.  She quickly came up with a plan.  Here it is:

We are going to make her a flag.  Because presidents made flags when they made the country.
We are going to make her an American flag with pictures on it.  Whose pictures I asked?

"Her Angel Babies.  Because any of us could be president some day."
