Another conversation with Brooklynn...
Scene: All four of us are playing and wrestling around when in the midst of our family frolicking Brooklynn says...
B: "You guys fuss too much."
-Russ and I look at each other with a quizzical and slightly stunned look.
Me: “We do not! What makes you say that? What do you think Mommy and Daddy fuss too much about?”
B: replies rather matter-of-factly: “About McCain”
-Russ and I look at each other and bust up laughing!
Me: “Brooklynn…Mommy and Daddy may get frustrated at some of the things we see and hear on TV and we may get a little too loud about it sometimes…but we aren’t being frustrated at each other. We love each other very much, okay?"
-Russ and I continued to laugh the rest of the night...so now Brooklynn thinks "McCain" is some kind of punchline and tries to insert it into her daily conversations in hopes of getting the laughs that she did the first time. Granted, the election didn't turn out the way we had hoped, but at least we have something to look back and laugh about!!!
