Last night Brooke and I settled in my bed to watch American Idol together. Much to her dismay, the president's speech interrupted us. At first she was greatly disturbed.
Then she seemed to be completely interested in all things political. She watched intently for a few minutes and then suddenly she wanted to discuss some matters.
Brooke: Mommy, has there ever been a girl president?
Me: Nope.
Brooke: What! Are you serious? NEVER?!?!
Me: Never.
Brooke: Well that's just a shame because I think girls are better than boys and a girl president would be good.
Me: Why?
Brooke: Because girls can wear skirts and skorts and dresses and all sorts of outfits that are just so much better than the boring pants men wear all the time.
Me: Oh, that's a good point.
Brooke: Also, I personally think that girls are smarter than boys. And girls live longer than boys because they have two whatchamacallits and boys only have one.
Me: (Spitting out my water) What?!
Brooke: You know, when God made Adam he had to take something out of Adam's body to make the woman--- so, women have more whatchamacallits.
Me: Ribs?
Brooke: Yes, and I also think that a girl would make a better president because I am a girl. And, I think I would like to do that job one day.
And on that note, she hopped off the bed. She'd had enough of politics. For now.
Based on her playground economic strategies, I'd vote for her. You'll remember she saw an opportunity to make money off all those kids whose parents pack carrot sticks and apple slices. So, she gathered up all our sugar snacks and set up shop on the playground.
And she made a profit.
Personally, I think the current president should consider having Brooke take a look at the new proposed budget because unlike the politicians currently involved:
* Brooke has no hidden agenda.
* She shoots straight without trying to put a spin on things.
* She understands that you can't spend money you don't have.
* She would surely wear an outfit that would keep us all talking for days.
* And let's not forget she has two whatchamacallits.
