King Dannel the Great

Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy spent a few hours in Norwalk today talking about early childhood education at Brookside Elementary School and Norwalk Community College.

It was an uneventful visit with the usual light moments that occur when elected adults interact with little kids.

At one point at Brookside a teacher was trying to explain Malloy’s job to a preschooler.

She said the governor is an important man.

Like a king, the kid observed.

Insert your own joke about Malloy’s governing style.

The governor, who appeared to genuinely enjoy the youngsters, later at NCC did visit a castle…

That little boy is giving the governor a high five over his proposal to reform teacher tenure. Kidding. Kidding. The controversial subject didn’t come up.
