In today's political climate, it's easy to get caught up in the in all of the "mommy-wars" blogging, fundraising, debating, and policitical posturing that's going on out there. It makes one ask: "Who will be brave enough in the future to put themselves (and their family) 'out there' to serve the public?"
I don't know if Poppy will be thick-skinned enough for such a calling but I just found out that she is a natural politician.
Poppy: (Watching the movie Air Bud.) Wow! His mommy is very beautiful!
Me: Yes she is, that's nice of you to say. Is she as beautiful as your mommy?
(I know, I know, leading question but what to you expect from an attorney?)
Poppy: You're beautiful too, mommy.
(Time to get more specific.)
Me: Thank you, but who is more beautiful? Mommy or Air Bud's mommy?
Poppy: Well, you are just both beautiful to me.
I needed that "mommy pick-me up". Thank you Poppy!
I also blog at Silicon Valley Moms Blog as JB.
Loved the story! She sure is a diplomat!
