The Littlest Literalist Goes Political

filed under: Dadditudes

I was just reading exit polls to Lisa while Max played with his puzzle. I think he's confused about the political process:

Daddy: It looks like Hillary is going to take New York.

Max: (looks up, startled) Hillary is TAKING us?! What is she going to DO to us?!

Daddy: No, no. I just mean she's going to win the election in New York.

Max: She's TAKING the state?

Daddy: Taking just means winning, in this case.

Max: Is she taking it HOME with her?!

Mommy: No, honey, she's just getting more votes.

Max: (calmer, but still worried) Is it still attached?

Mommy: Yes, buddy. New York isn't going anywhere.

That's actually the secret behind Cloverfield, it's a latenight attack from Hillary, and she attempts to take the city. Scary.

You guys and your city are just too bloody big to "take" anywhere. Where would she put you? In her garage? Still, it's good to know New York is still attached...

N.Y. fits comfortably into one of her pants suits.
