I was still trying to answer the question about what the candidates want to do with our country and explaining the difference between Republicans and Democrats. As we approached the Mygym, I warned the kids that politics can be a touchy subject, and that they should probably refrain from grilling the MyGym staff about who they're voting for, etc. Liam: "Well, I think I know Ms. Carmen would probably vote for Obama anyway." Me: "Why do you think that?" Liam: "Because she cares about kids and helping people." Well, OK then. On the way to the MyGym this morning, Liam was tallying yard signs (Obama:9, McCain:5).

I’m not sure if I would be more proud or scared. If he’s “doing the math” that fast and that well at such a young age you’re basically screwed by the time he’s a teenager. Forget parental controls and web blocking software. You’re going to have to cut the hard line if you want to stop this guy. :) WOW! I’m not sure if I would be more proud or scared.
