cute things kids say

.
Sarah and I were at the grocery store, where she demanded a cookie (they have free cookies for kids; she wanted two) and had other tasty free samples. On the way out, I passed the Salvation Army bell-ringer -- the vanguard of a vast armada of invaders from Salvatia, apparently. I pulled over and got out to give a donation, and Sarah asked me what he was doing. "He's helping the poor, honey. People who don't have money and need food." She thought a moment and said, "I no like help the poor."

Our daughter's already got compassion fatigue -- she's going to be a Republican! Oh boy, she'll be on the winning team, and she will be able to look at what's happening in our country and express her delight in comfort. Lucky, lucky child.

Hooray.

The Salvation Navy is as real as Dutch Mountain Troops (Who are part of the Dutch Commando Forces and, in the Cold War years, were tasked with operations in Norway.
