Challenge #3
Now for your final presidential trivia challenge.  Can you name the president?
1.     I loved jelly-beans so much I kept a jar in the oval office.  I also had a jar of acorns so I could feed the squirrels.
2.    I had the first cat to live in the White House.  Tabby came to White House dinners, and I fed her with a gold fork.
3.    I put in the first phone.  Before that I walked down the hallway to use a phone booth.
4.    I brought lots of children and pets into the White House.  My son Quentin had pet snakes.  To escape my family, I built the West Wing.  My wife suggested we use the second floor for family and pets.
5.    I had the most pets in the White House.  I even had a canary who walked up and down my cat’s back.  Caruso was the clever canary, and Timmie was the kind cat/
6.    My cat Socks was famous.  He was on TV, in cartoons and books, and even on stamps for the Central African Republic.
7.    Because of a Christmas Eve fire, I designed the West Wing.  I added the Oval Office to my design.

5.    Calvin Coolidge
6.    Bill Clinton
7.     William Howard Taft​

    When I write, I can only have one voice in my head, mine.  A little noise is fine.  But too much, or worse yet, WORDS, and I must change rooms or pull out headphones.  Then I can write on!
