I have three kids. Little ones.
The oldest is four. He's a hoot.. like a mini me. A real sweetheart, blue eyes, and he's kind to bugs.
The middle one is a daredevil.
You can see it now at 20 months, he's going to be a skate punk. He'll tip back a beer when he's 12. And he'll probably have an Ayn Rand phase. He'll be a chess club champ, we just know. And art school for sure... he's already showing a gift for visual self expression. Where the older one made pages and pages of "all colors mixed together to make a brown mash", this one makes lovely dot art and colorful swooshes. Whitespace, he's all about the whitespace.
Baby #3 is a girl... a sweet little one who couldn't be easier. Like she knows her parents have #1 and #2 to contend with ever day. Whatever parental attention and energy is left, that's what she's happy with.
I can't bear to see these kids meet this world.
The Bush McCain/neocon world.
Please do what you can to help Obama win this election, so these kids can grow up in a country that makes sense. With leadership they can look up to.
Obama.
