Brigham's Political Leanings

I told Brigham this morning that Mitt Romney had lost the Primary Election.

He asked why?

I said it was because he didn't get enough votes.

Brigham said that that made him sad.

I asked him who the other guy was.

He said, "Huckabee. I don't like Huckabee."

I told him there was someone else too.

He said, "There is another guy in the race?"

I told him it was McCain.

He replied, "I don't like McCain either."

Obviously he spent a lot of time with his grandparents last weekend.

Don't You Know How Christmas Works?

Last night we were decorating our Christmas tree. Brigham asked if we
could go into the attic to get some Christmas decorations because we
hadn't done that for awhile. I told him that we had just gone up there
last night to get his little Christmas tree.

He said, "Dad, a Christmas tree isn't a decoration. You put
decorations on a Christmas tree. Don't you know how Christmas works?"

We tried to watch The Polar Express but Brigham is absolutely
terrified of the movie. Loves National Treasure but terrified of The
Polar Express. I don't get it.
