This morning at breakfast, the restaurant had on CNN. Hailey kept identifying Barack Obama (spotting Obama is one of her favorite games). Here's the conversation that ensued:
Mom: "That is Barack Obama, and do you know who that is with President Obama?"
Hailey: "No"
Mom: "That's Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany. See. She's a girl, and she rules a country. Maybe when you get older, you can be in charge of a European Union country."
Hailey: "I don't want to do that. When I get bigger, I want to be Tinker Bell."
At least, I tried.
It's Mommy Time!

And you will continue to try...no doubt to no avail. But isn't she just amazing?

omg... this had me CRACKING UP! i can totally picture this in technicolor. ;)
I didn't read that carefully enough. I thought Hailey was telling you about the Chancellor of Germany. So for a second there I was totally panicked that my kids don't even know where Europe is let alone who its female rulers are!
