Do We REALLY Want to Exploit Our Children This Way?

Now I've seen it all -- a button and t-shirt that say, "My special-needs daughter would vote McCain-Palin." That offends me. If my daughter were not 4 years old and was able to make this type of decision, you know who she'd vote for? Whoever she wanted to.

I was waiting for something like that, but hoping I wouldn't see it....

Confession: I did teach Sophie, who is 5 and has Down syndrome, to do a fist bump. But I would never tell her how to vote!

Thank you for this blog. It's terrific. I'm going to link to it from mine (girlinapartyhat.wordpress.com) and also thank you for linking to my "shriek".

Couldn't they have at least used people first language?

And I should add that Mikey taught me to do the fist bump.
