My daughter: Future peacemaker.

We were listening to the Democratic Convention recap on XM this morning when Maria said:
"John McCain wants to be president.''
"Yes, he does. And so does a man named Barack Obama.''
"Can they both be president?"
"No, Mama. Only one person can be president.''
"What if they take turns?''
"They don't really work very well together, Maria. They don't agree on many things.''
"Can they work it out?''
"How would you suggest they work it out? What could they do?''
"They could take turns being president or the girls can be with Barack Obama and the boys can be with John McCain.''

If it were that simple, no?

I LOVE kids simplistic view of the world around them. I too wish it was that simple :)

Too bad it's not that simple, eh? Love looking at the world through their eyes.

Reminds me of that David Byrne song: "The girls want to be with the girls. Girls want things that make commen sense. And the boys say, 'What do you mean?'
