Presidential Politics

IMG_6072I had a presidential politics discussion with Griffin this morning, prompted by a question about what the covers of these magazines mean. I explained the idea of a spectrum of beliefs (exemplified by stances on candy consumption, of course, which was well received and understood). Our conversation culminated in Griffin’s written commentary on the big T as a “bad guy” and questions of whether our personal political views are closer to “no candy ever” or “candy all the time,” to which I responded, “it’s complicated.”

Maggie Round-Up

I had just made Moscow Mules for the adults, and virgin versions for the kids. Maggie said, as she handed Griffin his cup, “Here you go, Griffin! There’s no alcohol in here, but it tastes like there is!” Griffin’s response: “You don’t even know what alcohol tastes like!”

Me: “Maggie, why haven’t you brushed your teeth yet? I even got your toothbrush ready for you!”

Maggie: “I was just so busy laying on the floor…”

Maggie: “BOO!!!”

Me: “Oh my! You surprised me!”

Maggie <leaning on the couch on her elbow>: “You see, I’m a hider. YEP! I hide REALLY well!”

Andrew overheard Maggie singing “Over the Rainbow” to the tune of the Star Wars theme song. Pretty awesome.
