You know that questions… if you could have dinner with anybody from past or present, who would it be? Well I have never been able to answer that question with complete confidence until now. The one person I’d LOVE to have dinner with is Theodore Roosevelt daughter Alice. Why? Well if you’re interested im going to list some true facts about her and maybe you’ll understand why
When Alice was 15 years old and her father was the governor of New York, she was such a troublemaker that her dad and stepmom threatened to send her to a very conservative, discipline-oriented school in New York City. Alice wrote her parents the following threat: “If you send me I will humiliate you. I will do something that will shame you. I tell you I will.” Her parents backed down.
Alice’s misbehavior during her dad’s presidency was very frustrating for Teddy Roosevelt. One day at the Oval Office, after she kept interrupting a meeting between her father and a famous novelist, her dad reportedly exclaimed, “I can be President of the United States or I can attend to Alice. I cannot possibly do both”
When her father forbade her from smoking cigarettes “under his roof,” she climbed onto the White House roof and smoked cigarettes from there.
At all times she kept a pet snake in her pocket she called “Emily Spinach.”
Even though Roosevelt was a popular president, the public loved the mischievous Alice even more. She received so much mail at the White House that her parents needed to hire a secretary just to handle it all.
To get his troublesome daughter out of his hair, Teddy sent Alice on a delegation to Asia, where she shocked onlookers by diving into a swimming pool on the ship while fully clothed. She also encouraged Congressman Nicholas Longworth III to do the same.
Shortly after returning to the USA, Alice and Longworth were married. She made headlines by cutting the wedding cake with a sword.
In 1908 she pulled a prank by placing a tack on a chair in the Capitol’s gallery at the House of Representatives and looked away when a man sat down on the chair and then bounced back up, howling in pain.
She was banned from the White House by Teddy Roosevelt’s successor, William Howard Taft, after she buried a voodoo doll of his wife in the front yard.
She once said that a Hoover vacuum was more exciting than President Herbert Hoover.
She had a pillow that was embroidered with a saying of hers that became her catchphrase: “If you haven’t got anything good to say about anybody, come sit next to me.”
I wish I was as cool as Alice
