Aww. Jenna and Barbara Bush, George W.'s cat-like daughters, had someone write a letter to Obama's kids, Malia and Sasha. It's about how to love living in the giant white mansion and stuff.

It's kind of mushy and silly and doesn't make me hate the girls' father any less, plus it was published in the Wall Street Journal. But I guess it's kind of cute, so here. Some words on being the First Daughters:

Be Nice to the Help:
"If you ever need a hug, go find Ramsey. If you want to talk football, look for Buddy. And, if you just need a smile, look for 'Smiley.'"

Oh the People You'll Meet:
"As older girls, we were constantly inspired by the amazing people we met, politicians and great philosophers like Vaclav Havel. We dined with royalty, heads of states, authors, and activists. We even met the Queen of England and managed to see the Texas Longhorns after they won the National Championship."

Don't Believe the Hype:
"Our dad, like yours, is a man of great integrity and love; a man who always put us first. We still see him now as we did when we were seven: as our loving daddy. Our Dad, who read to us nightly, taught us how to score tedious baseball games. He is our father, not the sketch in a paper or part of a skit on TV."

Enjoy the Bowling Alley:
"The East sitting room became a peaceful place to read and study. We ran on the track in the front lawn, and squared off in sisterly bowling duels down in the basement alley."

Every President Plays T-Ball:
"Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play."

Don't Let Time Pass You By:
"In fact, go to anything and everything you possibly can: the Kennedy Center for theater, State Dinners, Christmas parties (the White House staff party is our favorite!) [More being nice to the little people!], museum openings, arrival ceremonies, and walks around the monuments. Just go. Four years goes by so fast, so absorb it all, enjoy it all!"
