Conversation with a Two-Year-Old

With Rebecca in Saratoga Springs, NY

NEIL: Well hello there, Rebecca.
REBECCA: Hi.
NEIL: Are you having fun with your Uncle Neil and Papa Steve?
REBECCA: No.
NEIL: You're...not?
REBECCA: No.
NEIL: Do you want to take a nap?
REBECCA: No.
NEIL: Do you want something to eat?
REBECCA: No.
NEIL: Rebecca, do you answer 'no' to everything?
REBECCA: No.
NEIL: I see. Well, do you...find the criticisms of Obama's stimulus package to be contributing to a sound and productive dialogue on effective fiscal policy?
REBECCA: No.
NEIL: Ah. Well at least we share support for progressive economic plans.
REBECCA: Cookie, please.
NEIL: Exactly.

She is absurdly cute. I like her stance on current political discourse, and cookies.

I can see you had to jockey with her to get this material.

I second the "absurdly cute" vote.
