Wisdom from a 4 year-old Independent

We let Lucy stay up a little later last night, so that we could watch the beginning of the debate. I decided to try and explain to her what was going on. I told her both the men talking wanted to be president. That they had these debates, so that people in America would be able to decide which one they wanted to vote for.

After watching for awhile, she made a very profound statement...

"Maybe they should take turns being president."

This is not the best idea, but you have to give her credit for the simplicity of her solution. To a little girl, it makes sense. Mommy always tells her to share and not be selfish. To work out your problems together and not argue. And to try and make decisions that are fair for everyone.
