from Keona's perspective

Our fabulous daughter. Here are a few of her recent one-liners:

"Today I feel like the government," Keona said standing tall. "Wow, do you feel like you are part of the government, like you work for the government?" I asked. "No. I feel like THE government. And one day I'll be the first woman president." (She'll have to hurry.)

"I'm a speaker." Keona explained to her teacher at church in response to a discussion about professions. The teacher looked at me and said with eyebrows raised , "Yes she is!"

"That's evil and hypocrisy!" Keona concluded with her hands-on-hips ready-for-battle stance. This followed her questions of, "Well, did he have blonde hair? Didn't he have special needs?!" (We were discussing Hitler's cruelty and racism.)

"He's adorable," Keona cooed staring at her baby brother. (when he wasn't spitting at anyone)

"Don't even think about it!" Keona said of my effort to kiss her while I was eating sardines. :-)
