Addie updates

Holy moly, she's on a roll!
Her current topic at daycare is PETS.  
Yesterday the question asked was, "if you could have any pet in the world, what would you want?"
Now most of the answers ranged from cat to dog to bunny.  Addie's answer: a baby zebra.  She was the only one who said that; not so shocking!
Today's question was "How do you care for your pet?"
Again, the answers were like "give water and food."  Addie's answer, "First you get a bottle and put milk in it. Then you hold the piggy and put the bottle in its mouth.  Then you gently pet the piggy's back."  Her teacher dictates exactly what the kids say and hang them on the wall for the parents to see.  When I commented on Addie's thorough explanation, Miss Desi said, "Yeah and that's only the part that I wrote.  It got too long." Ha!
Finally, Miss Desi told me that Addie got her in trouble today.  I was like "huh? Over what?"  She said she was proudly telling Miss Faith, the Director, about Addie and her Obama song.  Then she said "Have you heard her explain why she doesn't want John McCain to be president?"  Miss Faith said, "no."  Desi asked Addie, who happily chirps "He'll take away my reproductive rights"  Miss Faith tells Desi that she's voting for McCain.  I was like, "you got in trouble for that?!! It's the truth."  Desi explained she didn't get in trouble per se, but was very uncomfortable. LOL
Also a classmate told Miss Desi that Addie hit him.  Addie was very adamant about the fact that she hadn't.  (God forbid you accuse her of something she didn't do!!).  When Miss Desi asked why he would say that then, Addie replied, "I don't know. Maybe because he's silly?!" And she put her hands up like she wasn't sure.  Desi said she laughed so hard.
