It probably doesn't come as a surprise that the kids and I have a lot of political discussions. The most recent one was a perfect example of how literal Julia really is.
Katie and I were discussing how terrible it would be for this country if Donald Trump was elected. It started off as a real discussion about real issues but then Katie jokingly said, "The most awful thing would be if he enacted a law that said we must all wear our hair like he does." We laughed...and went on with the conversation.
Fast forward to a few days later when Julia comes into my office and says to me, "Mom, if Donald Trump is elected, can we please move to England?" When I asked her why she didn't like the idea of Trump being president, she said, "Because of the hair thing. He has awful hair! If he makes that stupid rule we will need to leave immediately." She was dead serious. She thought the rule could become reality despite it being a ridiculous and, she completely missed the "social que" (laughter indicating the humor).
I mean honestly, as long as she is on board with Trump as President being a bad idea, the reasoning really doesn't matter, right? And let's face it...his hair is awful!
