Hey Kids, this is how Dad washes clean dishes

Well I was looking for tonight's debate on line and I came accross the video of Paul Ryan staging a photo op with his family, uninvited.  And this is a guy who is running on character.  He can't even actually volunteer at a soup kitchen for real, just once?  What I wondered watching the video was what were his kids thinking.  Was it crazy to see their dad pretending to wash dishes?  He even talked about the food as if it was there. 
 Imagine the two lessons he could teach to his kids: that helping those less fortunate is a good thing by taking them to volunteer at a soup kitchen. When the kids actually meet the people they are helping they will learn the more important lesson that they are nice people and are very much like themselves.  No longer the unknown 'other'.  And so what if you are a politician and you don't care about those lessons and just want a good photo op, you would get that too.
  Or you can teach your kids that it is OK to lie and pretend to do something by forcing your way into a soup kitchen after it has been cleaned and closed up to stage a photo op by dressing up your kids and proceeding to scrub clean plates and talk about the food that isn't there.  And, as the kids don't meet anyone, they will learn the much more impactful lesson that the 'others' are to be avoided
