Politics for Toddlers

There is something different about this election--it's on everyone's mind. Including, apparently, my 5 yr old and her friends. She's having a slumber party tonight with a 4 yr old friend. While I was listening to the news, I overheard Isabel say something to her friend about John McCain and Obama. Her friend responded with, "And Sarah Palin." Did I really just hear that? If this is what today's children talk about at slumber parties, what will they be doing as adults? I can't wait to watch them do it! They followed up their dinner conversation by watching Alvin and the Chipmunks - seems like a nice balance.
