Political Chat with the Kids

This is the drink I had after Pinkie left and Lai was going to bed for the night. I wish I would have had my camera near by to record them asking and answering questions. So I took the girls Lai 6yrs. and Pinkie 3yrs. outside to enjoy the beautiful day. Well I decided to ask about politics and stuff. Me: Lai who is our current President Lai: George Washington Me: Close George Bush Lai: Oh Yeah Me: Do you know the two guys who want to be our new President Lai: Uhm, Barack Obama and John McClean Me: Close, Barack Obama and John McCain Me: If you could vote which one would you chose and why? Lai: I would pick Barack Obama, because he isn't a poor sport. So then I turn to Pinkie who is 3yrs old. Me: If you had to pick who our next President was who would you pick and why? Pinkie: I would pick John McCain Me: Ok, Why? Pinkie: Because he can turn into a Butterfly Me and Lai: After we laughed we said ok that was a very good answer. I think for two young girls they are very smart and have their difference of opinions and they have their reasons why and stick to them. A few moments later we saw a Military airplane that flies the tanks and stuff. They asked what it was and what was in it. I told them that it was a military plane that flies the tanks, armor, and weapons to our soldiers. They said why do they need the tanks and weapons. I told them that the Military Men and Women needed them to keep us safe and let us remain free to play outside and talk about these kinds of things. They said Oh Ok, lets finish collecting rocks. I love these two little girls more then anything in the world.
