Politics at our house

Neither Brett nor I are terribly enthusiastic about politics. I mean, let's face it, no matter which side of the aisle you stand on or whose promises you find more alluring, it's really going to be the same old story, different set of faces any way you slice it.
That said, with an observant three-year-old who sits and watches The Today Show with me for a while every morning, it's impossible to avoid the beginnings of teaching Makena about current events. She recognizes Obama and calls him by name. She knows he and "the man with the white hair" want to be our president. She also knows "the lady with the black hair and glasses" wants to help "Sentor Makane".
This week Joe Biden made an appearance during the time we watch. We discussed that he wants to be the helper of "Sentor oBAma". She thought about that for a while and then declared that "Sentor Biden has mean eyes." Huh. Interesting.
