Rocko-Bobama

Abraham thinks Obama is already president. But he calls him Rocko Bobama. When he received a stick horse this summer, he named him Rocko Bobama. The other night he was in the bath and we were chatting. I asked him who he liked more, Batman or Peterpan. He said he liked them both. Then he asked me who I liked better Rocko or John McCain. I was actually pretty surprised that he knew who John McCain was. I told him Rocko. He then told me he preferred John McCain because he's mean. (Bad guys are good in our household) Then, last night he asked me again about the two candidates. I told him that John McCain was not a mean man, he just had some policies that weren't good. Abraham looked at me sincerely and said, "tell me about them, Mom." I then launched into what I didn't like about McCain and I think Abe really heard me until he told me, "I still like John McCain." I guess children are good at figuring out your buttons. And pressing them.
