Having worked with children for so long, I have found the easiest and most perfect way to take over the world.
First, build an army of about 5,000 5-year-olds. It may not sound like much, but trust me, it will be.
Second, train said army in the ways of cuteness, temper tantrums, and defensive and offensive wetting of their pants. Meanwhile, also train them in martial arts.
Third, feed your army two tons of candy and soda pop, and then march this army of 5-year-olds on Washington, DC. Demand that the government hand over all governmental power to you. If they do not, release the five-year-olds into the White House, the Capitol building, and wherever it is that Senators and Congressmen hide out when they're not working (which is most of the time).
5-year-olds will begin with cuteness, asking the government officials why, oh why, they won't grant the wishes of the children and instill their teacher (who else could do it?) as Supreme Ruler? About a third of adults will give in immediately.
5-year-olds engaging more stubborn adults will then throw massive temper tantrums until they get their way. The second third of adults will give in to their whining, just to get them to shut up.
For the most stubborn of the adults, children will crawl up into their laps and pee on them. The adults will jump up screaming. While they are distracted, the children will use jujitsu to incapacitate them.
We then send the two-thirds of adults under our control to Congress, where they will pass a Constitutional amendment (hooray for the 2/3 rules!) granting me sole power over the government. Once the papers have been signed and the old government has been kicked out, I will assume power in the White House while the five-year-olds nap off their sugar buzz on the White House lawn.
From there, it should be relatively easy to convince most of the world to surrender power to me, or face the doom of the 5-year-olds.
It will be a glorious day.
