So, after being up very late watching the election, momentous speeches, and history in the making, it was a little hard to get up this morning. For the parents, that is.
Imp #1, on the other hand, was up bright and early at 6 AM, tapping my face and begging for food. Our conversation quickly turned to politics, however. It went something like this:
#1: “Mom, wake up. I need brefest [read: breakfast].”
Me: “Oh, #1. I need to sleep for 10 more minutes.”
#1: “But I really need brefest. [Long pause.] Wanna talk about something?”
Me: “What do you want to talk about?”
#1: “How about rain storms?”
Me: “Hey, I know what we can talk about. Guess what? We have a new President.”
#1: “We do????”
Me: “Yes, can you guess who it is?”
#1: [Pumping his little fists in the air] “BARAK OBAMA!”
Me: “Yes!”
#1: “So, Barak Obama won and John McCain loosed. Right Mom?”
Me: “Right.”
#1: “John McCain is sad because he loosed.”
Me: “I suspect you are right.”
#1: [Thoughtful pause.] “Hey, you know what Mom? John McCain has “cane” in his name. Just like candy cane. So, he’s like candy. He could be happy about that!”
Me: “That's a good point.”
Note to Senator McCain: Anytime you start feeling down today, just remember, your name is like candy.
