As Alexis and I were meandering our way to gymnastics tonight, she declared, "I see grapes!" I looked and looked and couldn't find grapes anywhere. I did, however, see some pine cones and realized that large pine cones hanging from a tree could most certainly be confused for grapes.

Always one to help her add to her vocabulary without telling her she's wrong, I said, "I see pine cones."

"No, they're grapes," she replied defensively. Then a few moments later she cheerily declared, "I see kine cones!" She said it as if it was the most original statement she has ever made.

I thought for a few moments and then realized something.

You know that thing that politicians do where they make a false statement, stand by that statement, then act like they never said it in the first place? That's TOTALLY a toddler move.

Politicians are nothing more than people who never grew up enough to be able to admit that what they said was wrong.

Sooooo, we're donating all September ad revenue to the Flight 93 Memorial Fund. Clickity clicks mean more money, so why not go take a peak under our covers?
