I was reading the paper the other day and Abi was playing and talking nearby. So she walks over and starts pulling and tugging at the paper asking, "Daddy, what is this ... who is that, etc...?" She finally pointed to the cover on which there was a picture of Carl Paladino. An interesting exchange took place after that.
Abi: "Who is that, Daddy?"
Daddy: "That's Carl Paladino."
Abi: "What is he doing?"
Daddy: "He is talking to people."
Abi: "Why?"
Daddy: "He wants to be the governor of NY." (might have been much for a 2 year old, sorry)
Abi: (blank stare)
Daddy: "He's talking to people to get votes."
Abi: "He wants OATS?"
Daddy: (smiling) "No baby, he wants VVVVOTES."
Abi: "VVVOTES ... oh ok."
Abi: (sits down and signaling how she eats oats) "Daddy, OATS are too hot, he has to wait and let it cool down."
What can you do but laugh and pick her up and give her a big hug and smooch! I love you Abi!
Enjoy The Ride,
Cecil
