(WCCO) When a young St. Paul boy got to pick the theme for his third birthday party, he didn't pick Nemo or the Wiggles or Dora the Explorer. He didn't even pick his favorite sports team.
Henry Schally picked "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer".
His mother, Jennifer Schally, designed party hats complete with pictures of the PBS news program's regular contributors. "I think most kids get their favorite show for their birthday party theme," Jennifer Schally said.
Henry's father, Troy Schally, explained he and his wife have watched the show during dinner since their son was an infant. He believes the show's distinctive theme caught his son's attention.
AmericaBlog is right though: Read the article, but watch the accompanying video. The kid not only loves the NewsHour, but actually learns from it... being able to name everyone from the President, Vice President, Secretaries of Defense and State, through to the Supreme Court Justices.
Pot has some big shoes to fill.
