I can’t stand it when people constantly put up brag posts about their kids. It’s like they just want to bask in the light their kids cast off, and take credit for their kid’s actions.
And I know I just posted a really cute baby picture of Madeleine yesterday …
So, here goes. Sue me! My kid called me this morning from halfway across Ohio. She has been in Michigan for six weeks registering voters in that critical swing state, in time for these people to vote. Now she’s driving to North Carolina to help manage a get-out-the-vote drive in what now appears that it might also be a critical swing state.
This is 100% Madeleine. I take no credit for her drive, her initiative, or the strength of her convictions. The pride I feel at this juncture has nothing to do with stealing her fire. I am happy to enjoy the warmth of being nearby.
Which reminds me … I’ll be flying there after the election, and driving back with her, coast to coast. The kid is great travelling company.
