A 4 year old and her father are downtown DC and see the DC occupiers protesting. The 4 year says 'Daddy why are those people so angry?' The dad replies, 'well they believe that the world is unfair that they want to get their share of surprises and presents'. 'What do they do to get their surprises and presents?' says the little kid. 'Well' says the Dad, 'this is what they do', as he points to the occupy camp. Just then a breeze kicks up and the dad and child smell a horrible stench. 'Oh, i get it ', says the child, ' its like when I poop in the toilet i get a surprise for my good potty training'. The child looks around and thinks a little more, 'But then, i don't think they', continues the child, ' will be getting anything'.

There are 99 Occupy DC , occupiers holding hands and blocking the entrance to a nice expensive apartment building, a little old lady approaches the entrance in her wheelchair. 'Please let me by , i live here'. The occupier right in front of the door says 'No, you are part of the 1%, and we hate you'. The little old lady looks disappointed, but does nothing. Clouds start to form outside and sudden a storm begins, lighting strikes and knocks out 98 of the occupiers that were holding hands and blocking the building. The 1 occupier right in front of the door is left standing and says 'oh my God i must be special I wasn't struck. 'Oh you are special', says the little old lady, as she whips out a taser and zaps the guy, 'but even God' needs a little help sometimes.

A 4 year and her father are downtown Oakland, the 4 year old tells her Dad, ‘Daddy look the circus is in town!’ . Her dad tells her, ‘no honey, those are protesters’. ‘But Daddy they look like jugglers over there.’ No those are not jugglers just people throwing rocks . ‘ But look ‘, says the child, ‘there’s a fire thrower it must be a circus’. ‘No says the dad that’s a angry man throwing a Molotov cocktail at the police’. ‘I still think that this is a circus Daddy’, says the little girl, ’just look at all these clowns’. Just then a person steps in front of them with a ‘LGBT’ sign. The little girl then says ‘Come on Dad, I suppose that you are going to say that’s not the bearded lady!’
