Today is Beanie's last day of pre-school! She is very excited to be going to kindergarten. Well, she is very excited about buying school supplies, anyway! Gramma is coming down today and on Sunday all three kiddos are going home with her to Oklahoma. They are looking forward to "helping" in the garden and riding their bikes "on the road!" Sounds like a good vacation to me!
This morning on the way to daycare, Pookie amazed me. She said, "Momma, when we get home from school and work tonight, me and Beanie are gonna take the dogs, just the kids and the dogs, and we're gonna go to Chik-Fil-A and we are gonna tell those people to stop killing the animals! Animals are our friend and they need to just stop it!"
Wow! I had no idea that we were raising an activist, but I must admit that I felt very proud of her! I did try to explain that the people working in fast food places aren't the ones who kill the animals, but that didn't really appease her. I mentioned writing letters to the owners and she said, "No. Momma, we haf to bring the dogs and we haf to go there!
I'm not really sure why the dogs are being dragged along on this protest trip, and I'm also not sure why Beanie thinks the owners (and everyone else we don't know) live in Tennessee. But more power to our activist kiddos!
