John and Jonah: it’s probably a hoax, but that doesn’t make it any less hilarious. Look at this one, posted after USA Today’s article about the NSA phone-records database:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn’t understand why the President would be spying on everyone. “Even my Grandma?” she asked pitifully. I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the President has ordered a group of spies to collect information on every American. ”And yes honey, even Grandma”, I was forced to say.

After that, it’s pretty much word-for-word the same as the one from today. If it’s a parody, I’m with Allah: brilliantly done.
