Kyla's Reaction to the Inauguration

Last night I told Kyla that today would be an historic day because Barack Obama (whom she's heard me talk about repeatedly before) was going to become president. "No Daddy," she replied, "I want the girl to win." I considered trying to explain that Hillary was going to become Secretary of State and that that was a great honor, but figured it would be to hard to explain what diplomacy was.

Today Becky had Kyla join her to watch the inauguration on television. She sat there quietly for most of it and then out of the blue said, "poor John McCain" (a name that probably hasn't been spoken around her for weeks).

I guess President Obama has his work cut out for him if he's going to win over my daughter.
