a preschool political perspective
mom: who are the presidential candidates?
justus: obama or mit romney
mom: what is an important issue that President Obama cares
about?
justus: taking care of people who don't have any money
mom: what is an important issue that Mit Romney cares about?
justus: helping babies.
mom: what issue regarding our country is important to you?
justus: uh. america.
mom: what issue is important?
justus: taking care of the city, helping the communities. making
sure nobody hurts anybody. and...helping the city be nice, don't hurt anybody.
mom: what country do we live in?
justus: america with United States
mom: what is special about America?
justus: that we can respond to people.
mom: why do you think people should vote?
justus: it's important to vote, because if you don't vote
they can't pick a new president to stay.
mom: what are some qualities that would make a good leader
for our country?
justus: obama. (for the record, he has never once asked his
parents for their opinion on who should be president)
mom: but what are some things that would help someone to be
a good president?
justus: that they help. they help people, and they take care
of them and make sure they are alright.
mom: anything else?
justus: special presidents do things that help.
mom: what did you learn at school about the election?
justus: that you have to vote for somebody. and every vote
counts! everyone counts!
...everyone counts but if obama or mit romney pick, they
don't count.
...both of them don't get to stay; only one of them gets to
stay. and you have to take care of the city until it falls down.
...if kids don't know what they have to do, we need to help
the kids who don't know what to do in this community. and when the city falls
down, we have to go somewhere else and find a different place for america.
Meet the Robinson
After my 6 year old started her blog, my 5 year old decided he also had a perspective to share with the world.
...being un-assuming but brilliant, athletic but artistic, sensitive but tough, indecisive but thoughtful, and so much more... he is the middle child/little brother/older brother mixed into one extraordinary son that I am proud to call my own.
