I won't claim to be totally informed on politics, I know probably as much as an average American but with the election coming up and it being literally a momentous occasion no matter who wins just based on those running.
Today I sparked some presidential interest in my daughter when I picked her up from school, I was wearing a large pair of sunglasses that belonged to my sister, and when I caught my reflection in the window of the car I laughed because having them on made me feel a little like Jackie O.
Paige asked who that was and I told her how she was married to a President, but that he was no longer in office.
She asked why. Sparing her the details of what really happened, I simply let her know that Presidents are only allowed to be in office for 4 years before we all get to vote again.
Quick as a whip, knowing little to nothing about presidents at all she asked,
"Can girls be President?"
I said "Of course, and I bet we'll see one in your lifetime!"
to which she said "Good, I really hope it's Auntie Megan"
I love her, she's so quick witted and lives in a fantastic world that we could only dream of knowing!
