Ted Poe is the best. He was the Hang Em High Judge in Houston.

Watch his Grandson
And? What is your point?
A child nodding off while an adult is speaking isn't anything new.
(yes, he's my district rep so I'm very interested in your reply)

Don’t fight it. Just go ahead and take a nap.

As long as you don’t snore, it’s okay.

It’s absolutely darling, I enjoyed how his grandson fought and fought to stay away and just couldn’t keep his eyes open. W.C. Fields once said that he refused to work with animals and children because they always stole the scene no matter the performance.

A wild guess on my part...you're female, a mother or grandmother.

I thought you might have been harping on Poe as being boring.

Nope Married father of two aged 10 and 5. Watch how animated Rep. Poe is during the speech and then watch the corresponding actions of his grandson. C’mon that is adorable.

I'll go so far as to say it's cute. My two kids are 18 and 23 so my adorable button hasn't functioned for quite some time now.

Having a little girl makes a lot of difference. Let’s just say that she is daddy’s little princess and we do have a lot of tea parties and stuffed animal pretend play with each other. Being grounded in a family is helpful during a period of time that not much else makes sense.

My firstborn was a girl.

...she is daddy’s little princess...
You're going to ruin that child. Your choice, but she has my sympathies.

That sounds like liberal pap. You should be grounded in family no matter the times.
