Politics from a child…
Children have heard a lot about politics in the last year
between learning about it at school, hearing it discussed in homes, on the
news, in grocery store check-out lines, on the radio- pretty much anywhere, and
my child is not exempt from hearing these discussions. But, looking back, I have never asked my
child what his views were. Afterall, he
was 5 when the last elections took place.
On Saturday, Chase and I went to Coborn's to pick out his Birthday
breakfast. (Yes, my child gets to pick
out anything at the grocery store on the morning of his birthday to eat for
breakfast. He chose chocolate donuts,
cupcakes, and orange tic-tacs. A strange
combination- just like him.)
Any who, as we were walking out of the grocery store Chase
was trying to open his container of tic-tacs not paying attention and he walked
directly into the sliding glass doors.
And I don’t mean he tapped into it.
He smacked the glass, hard. Like
there were grease marks from his face on the glass (Side note: my child may be
in need of “hygiene night” according to his body outline that was smeared onto
the glass).
As my child pried himself
off of the glass door, he took a step back, shook his head, looked me directly
in the eyes and said, “Wow, that must be how Trump feels. You know, because
he’s a loser.”
And with that, I found out which political party my child
sides with.
