Ohhh children. Being a parent is just like being a babysitter, only your payment is having a minute to yourself during nap time and instead of watching TV all day you’re cooking, cleaning, changing diapers, and performing another million different tasks all at once.
But you’ve already gotten a day to celebrate all that you do back in either May or June. So step aside because August is for the kids. Go wish your kids a happy National Son’s and Daughter’s Day and be sure to thank them for all the grey hairs, weight gain, exhaustion, and somehow still managing to be the best gift you’ve ever gotten, well, made.
So while you’re treating your kids to an ice cream cone and just waiting for their sugar rush to set in, allow us to help you pass the time with some of the most famous sons and daughters that have lived in DC.
Sasha and Malia Obama
Not only are they potentially the most famous kids in DC, but these first children are as cute and down to earth as can be. Leave it to the Obama girls to snap a selfie while at a formal event.
Chelsea Clinton
She just might be the first first child to be a first child twice. Was that confusing enough for you?
George W. Bush
He may have been a President, but George W. Bush was initially a first child. The White House must have felt very home-y to Bush because he ran an entire campaign, twice no less, for the chance to live in it again.
Jenna and Barbara Bush
Jenna and Barbara doubled as the first children and a first grandchildren…if that’s even a thing.
Kristin Gore
The first VP child (okay, we’re just making up names now) went on to attend Harvard University and eventually wrote for Saturday Night Live.
Amy Carter
President Jimmy Carter’s little peanut (farmer) left behind her White House siamese cat named “Misty Malarky Ying Yang” to become an American activist.
Caroline Kennedy
Caroline is a Kennedy, and thus a politician by blood. She stayed true to her name as she continues to be active and involved in politics and is currently serving as the United States Ambassador to Japan.
