It's Tiny Talk Tuesday again, thanks to Mary over at Not Before 7 (it's usually more like not before 8 at our house, so she's doing much better than I am).
So this week my little monkey has been getting political. As I'm in the kitchen one day last week, Kaydn Rye is in the living room playing with his fighting men, ie, a teenage mutant ninja turtle, a transformer and his "He-Man," which is really the Incredible Hulk. The day that my little brother gave it to him, about a year ago now, I said, "Oh, look, a He-Man," and let's just say, much to my huband's chagrin, the Hulk is now forever referred to as "He-Man" in our house. Kaydn Rye'll actually say to people, "No, he's a hulk, but his name is HE-MANNN, okay."
So anyway, he's in the living trying to beat the crap out of one of his toys, and he holds up his teenage mutant ninja turtle, who says to "He-Man," "Are you Barack Obama?"
No resonse from the "He-Man."
"Are you?"
I don't know what in the world was going on, but I came in there and I said, "How do you know Barack Obama?" especially since he really isn't allowed to watch much tv outside of WonderPets, Dora, some PBS Kids and that weird Yo Gabba Gabba Show.
His reply: "I heard about him on tv."
I say, "Well, do you know John McCain?"
After a very thoughtful head tilt and some contemplation, he says, "No, I don't think so."

sounds like he too has become a victim of our media...of course he knows obama but not mccain!
this is great!
sadly, he probably knows more about politics that some adults! :)
Ahh, you see who seems to be talked about most-not sure if that good or bad!
Just goes to show how much kids actually pick up when you think they aren't!
I think my husband and I are watching too much CNN because my kids are pretty familiar with the candidates and with my youngest being only 8, I'm not so sure that's a good thing, considering how nasty this election can get.
That, is hilarious!!
My kids, aged 4 & 6 know all sorts of odd news facts. I think it is because BBC World News comes on right after Word Girl on PBS, and I am usually in the middle of cooking dinner and forget to change the channel.
That is so funny!
btw, You've been tagged!
That is truly priceless!
Wow, they always end of with TMI that is how it works with the news/tv.
Of course my oldest used her first curse word after watching a episode of tori and dean in love in hollywood. Yeah, I quit watching it after that. Stupid me!
My 7 year old keeps asking me if I am voting for Barack-it's a school thing, I think.

Sounds like my house. I run to turn the TV off with stuff on my hands.
OH I love the stuff they pick up. I wonder what he was going to do with Mr. Obama there.
I didn't realize you were a not before 8 girl...nice!
Happy TTT
