Forgive Me
Please allow for a brief departure into “kids say the darndest things.” I try hard to be an un-mommy blog, and focus on books, movies and other things that I feel contribute to a thriving life of the mind, but occasionally things happen that I feel it would be remiss to keep to myself.
My husband and I were discussing possible candidates for the next presidential election. He named someone, and I asked, “Isn’t that person evil?”
Before he could answer, Drake chimed in.
“_I’m_ evil,” he grinned.
My husband and I paused and stared at him, mouths agape.
After he recovered, my husband said, “No, Drake, you are a force for good. Say, ‘I’m a force for good’”
Drake’s grin grew wider. “I’m evil, Dad!”
I shook my head and sighed. “He’s gonna be a Republican, isn’t he?”

If he is really, really smart, yes. Just like his Auntie Sydney.

THe older I get the more I suspect that the problem isn’t left vs. right, dem vs. republican. The problem is stupid people, who exist across the spectrum.
