Politics at My House

Now this in no way represents the political views of the voting adults who live here. I'm really not foolish enough to lay all my views out there for all to view/debate/criticize. But I just have to share this. Today there was a rally for the McCain/Palin ticket in KC. So we, trying to educate ourselves on the impending election, were watching. And all of the sudden, I notice Ellie clapping. Then she stopped. And watched intently. And clapped again. And I said "What are you clapping about? Do you even know what this is?" Well, she said, that's John McCain. As matter of factly as she would have said, well, thats mickey mouse. "So, do you know who John McCain is?" No. So I explained that we would vote for our president this year. And I explained we had to choose between McCain and Obama. So, mommy can I vote? No Ellie, only people who are 18 or more? Is Daddy 18? Daddy is 28. "Well, that is very old, so he can vote."
This after hearing an ad on the radio a few weeks ago in the car and she just sighed "Yes, we KNOW about John McCain. All they talk about is John McCain. Can't we just figure it out and STOP talking about it?'

Four year old logic kills me :)
