Caroline recently seems to be noticing that things are not exactly equal among the sexes. A few examples,
She and I had a discussion about the upcoming elections. I told her that George Bush will no longer be president (which she always says every time we talk about it. “but why, I like him”). Anyway I tell her that either Barack Obama or John McCain will be president. She says “is there a girl choice”?
We had to go to the Rec center and we passed the flag football team practicing. Caroline asked why are there no girls?
Rob took Caroline to a Mets game she asked “are there girl mets”.
I hope she continues to ask these questions, and maybe she’ll do something about it. I think President Caroline sounds good.

Thank you for the update! Great way to spend my lunch. Love Caroline and her way of seeing things. I almost choked when you described that she’s sorry to see George Bush go (I for one aren’t) One question: Why does she like George?

George is the only President she knows, so that is why she likes him.
Funny when ever she says she sad that he won’t be president much longer I tell her she is one of the very few who fell that way.
