“Let’s be honest. You’d be more surprised if I had a kid that DIDN’T go on to do anything worthwhile.”
~Teddy Roosevelt
As we’ve discussed previously in our fun fact regarding Teddy Roosevelt’s surprisingly attractive daughter Alice, Teddy Roosevelt made it his duty to ensure that America had at least 6 carriers of the Teddy Roosevelt gene going around to make the world awesome. Teddy Roosevelt’s children were blessed with advantages that many of us could only dream of. Impressive moustache growing abilities. The strength of five men. The knowledge that it was physically impossible to be bullied during your childhood because every time someone tried to punch you, a mythic force known only as “Roosevelt Waves” would shatter every bone in the hand of the would-be attacker.
While some Roosevelts used this advantage better than others, they all still have given us enough reason to write about each and every one of them as we continue our series of Teddy’s Tots with a fun fact discussing Teddy Roosevelts second oldest child, and his eldest son. All hail the man with the name that could open a thousand doors…
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.: Businessman, Soldier, Politician, Badass American. So, Basically, His Father’s Son.
