The Sage

Me: (Whispering softly under my breath as we passed a group of early morning risers holding Scott Brown signs, their fall jackets emblazoned with Romney buttons) Boo! Boooooooo!!

LJ: Mommy, what are you doing?

Me: Those people don’t like Obama. They want someone else to be President, and I don’t like their signs.

LJ: We should break their signs in half and make new ones that say “Obama is nice.”. They can hold those.

Me: (Glancing at her pink cheeks in the reflection in the rearview mirror) Lotte, you’re like a wise sage.

LJ: ACK! Ewwww. Not SAGE!! I like chives!

    She is awesome.
    I wonder if she associates sage with ghosts ;)
    Seriously though, one bite of the Saltimboca at Al Di La and she would change her mind. But then again that’s pork. That might not work for you. I think I could continue riffing randomly here but I will stop.
