Ah, my dear daughter…

So Rye calls me today from work to ask me something as that is our main from of communication this week. I am asleep when he goes to work at butt o’clock am and then I go to work before he comes home and he is asleep when I get home..anyway..he mentions to me that Scarlett has seen some election commercial on TV that has her all fired up.

Apparently, she paid close attention to the evils that this particular politician has done according to the ad, and made a point to telling Rye all about how this woman is so bad.
So I ask her today about it.

“Oh, that Susan Zimmerman..she is not a nice lady. She has cut the school funds so that kids can’t have fun. She does lots of mean stuff. And the people who are old, she cut their doctors office things. And she cut down people’s jobs”

And then she says.

“Remember Susan Zimmerman..more for her, less for us”

Now I find this positively absolutely freaking hysterical. I am amazed that she cares. And she really does. For whatever reason, she is all about hating on this Susna Zimmerman..who I really have no clue about at all. Like I don’t even know her political affiliations.

Who knew a 5 year old could have such a political concern?

I love this kid!!
