Urchling agrees with you that she is, indeed, "ace".

She disagrees with you that it’s hard to get boys to cry as she’s done it on several occasions. I can report that’s true on at least 3 separate occasions, though nothing recent.

She also disagrees that our democratic process is working, though she has different reasons than me. She says if it was working fairly they wouldn’t be able to pass laws or make Supreme Court decisions in the dead of night out of public view. That’s just all sorts of shifty. Also, the electoral college is "wank" ;-) but, she can’t articulate exactly why.

The Urchling and the Penguin are trading slang. Isn’t the internet marvelous? Y’all are cute.

Anyways, speaking of emotional fallout and leaking .... I’ve just tasked her with calculating her vote power on a state and national level.

I’m thinking soothing that burn is going to require a mint chocolate chip and ginger ale ice cream float. Best get cracking.

She’s also just asked me how much money she can spend on college applications but she has that Wednesday Addams-ish evil glint in her eye I’ve come to know and love. She’s up to some kind of nefarious intent, I’m sure if it; she’s bouncing and being a little dodgy. So I’ve asked her to put together a loose budget of what she thinks it will cost in hopes of getting to the bottom of it. More later.
