I will preface all of this by saying that Don and I do not talk politics (in front of the kids or otherwise really). Kids really do hear what is said, even when we think they're not listening. Yesterday, Emma came up to me and this was our conversation...
E: Barak Obama is mean.
M: What?
E: Barak Obama is mean.
M: What do you know about Barak Obama?
E: I know he's mean.
I was floored. Then because Obama was in Raleigh, they had him speaking on the noon news. We walked in the room together and they had not mentioned his name.
M: Emma, who is that on TV?
E: That's Barak Obama.
I guess it goes to show you that the ads for this election are getting through. I wonder if she knows who McCain is?? I wonder who she would vote for if allowed??? I guess it goes to show you that we do make an impact on children with the words we use and the way we use them.
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." Psalm 19:14
