Hillary Clinton Should Win Because She's "Stylin"!

Overheard between my husband (staunch Republican) and youngest daughter, Emily:

(While looking at a newspaper showing Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton)

"Who would you vote for?" asks Tim. Daughter replies, "Hillary." "Why?" says Tim. "Because she's stylin", says Emily. Tim, "that's not a reason to vote for someone." Emily says, "And I think she'll stop the war."

You Go Emily! Six year olds have an eye for fashion, trends and the truth!

The Joys of Childhood.....And Motherhood!

My youngest told me yesterday that she wasn't going to college. No way, not ever! I asked her why? She said, "because I'll never leave you Mommy!" Of course, you won't, darling! Never, ever....we'll see when she's sixteen! But I said, "you can stay with me forever!" And she smiled...the joys of motherhood!

I Don't Like the Ham Because It's Purple....

I wouldn't eat purple ham...would you? Well check out the comments my daughter's classmates wrote in an informal survey she did of friends about her school's cafeteria food offerings.

Here's what they said (spelled the way they wrote them):

I like: chocolate milk, carrots, broccoli, and steak (I've never seen them serve this yet!) - Maggi

I like: hotdogs & pizza. I don't like the strawberries...they are mushy. - Annie

I like the turkey, mash pothoes and papa jones pizza. I don't like everything else, except chiken nuggets - Nicole

I like cheese sticks and pizza - Papa Jhons and chicken nuggets. I don't like ham because it is purple, and I don't like anything else - Allie.

At least one kid mentioned the veggies....I have to chime in and say I've never eaten worse food in any cafeteria anywhere - I feel for them. It's all frozen and usually poorly prepared. Veggies and fruits are mushy/frozen and meats have too much salt or too little seasoning. I think she plans a full on assault by having all the kids write to the principal.
