True Story.
My son is simply fascinated with all things military and while I don’t necessarily like for my 8 year old to wade into the all the gorey details of the war I think it is important for him to begin understanding the sacrifices that our soldiers make on our behalf. I’ve begun to let him thumb through my Washington Times and call out some headlines while I make the 5 minute drive home from grabbing my coffee along with the paper. We then chat about the story.
Last week I was talking with him about the upcoming primaries and presidential elections and felt that it was important to preface my conversation with a simple; There are 2 political parties in our country. Do you know what they are called?
“Yes,...I think? One group is the Republicans and the other group is called the Terrorists.”
And the children shall lead them. What an astute observation.
Kids are so honest eh? :)
