Two things that Sophie said this weekend made me realize that she is wise beyond her years.
In the car, after a political ad played on the radio…
Sophie: Mama, did Obama REALLY kill Kentucky jobs?
Me: Um, yes…in a way he did.
Sophie: That is NOT NICE to do that. I think he needs to be put in a time out.
Me: Yes, ma’am! A time out might do the whole country some good!
(Sophie will be running for president in 2048, and she’s got my vote!)
On the obvious design flaw of the ZippySacks… (If you haven’t seen these, it’s basically a fitted sheet with the top sheet zipping up around the sides. It’s a sleeping bag that attaches to the bed and is marketed with the same gusto as the Pillow Pet, Snuggie, and DreamLites.)
Sophie: That is a really bad idea.
Me: What’s that?
Sophie: Those ZippySacks. They shouldn’t make those.
Me: What’s wrong with them?
Sophie: It’s just gonna make kids pee in the bed. If you’re zipped up in your bed and have to go, you will probably have an accident trying to get out.
Me: Good point!
Sophie: It doesn’t matter though…it says you have to be 18 to call and I’m only 4.
Double threat…beauty AND brains!
The Ballard Five 
Definitely wise beyond her years! And I’ll vote for her in 2048!!
