A sad reality...
Kezzie is five and a half. A very precocious five and a half. Eric and I have agreed since her first few months that Kezzie was destined for political greatness - she just has that personality.
Yesterday, she and I were walking through the campground, talking about her reluctance to learn to read (this from a child who can add and subtract two digit columns in math.) Me: "Kez, if you want to be President, you'll have to learn to read." Kezzie: "But Mom, I can't be President." Me: "Why not?" Kezzie: "Only boys can be President." Me: Heart breaks into a million pieces.

She's young, she still has time to become more politically active.

My youngest said he wanted to grow a "horse tail." I said, "You mean a pony tail." "No," he replied with some annoyance, as though I were a little thick. "GIRLS have pony tails; BOYS have horse tails."
