Out of the Mouths of Babes
Babysitting our 7-year-old and 4-year-old nephews this weekend, we hopped on the 5 and headed to one of their favorite places, Travel Town, to see the trains.
The 7-year-old saw we were taking the 5 north, as the big sign said we were heading toward Sacramento.
"Are we going to Sacramento? Let's go see Governor Schwarzenegger," he said.
I played along. "Did you vote for Schwarzenegger?" I asked.
"No!" he said, in that dummy, I'm too young to vote! voice. "Who was the old guy?"
Old guy? "You mean Gray Davis?" we both asked.
"Yeah. Is he dead?" the 7-year-old asked.
"No, but he's not governor anymore," I said.
"Oh. I know why Schwarzenegger is governor. Because he was the Terminator. Governor -- Terminator."
Possibly the most astute observation on the California recall election I heard all year.
