The Adventures of the Little Indian Girl

Last week, Thursday, D spotted the two candidates on the front page of the newspaper and she followed it with an eye roll and resignation-look: "When will the elections be over and Hillary Clinton win?! Why is Trump still here?!"

And that comes from a 6.5yo. And I am so with her! 

woo hooooo!! My daughter woke up and brought in the newspaper and she was asking me why Clinton had such a big smile on her face? Maybe she noticed a little more joy in the face? No idea. It felt so wonderful to share the results with her. For those who are new, it was some time ago, where she truly believed she needed to become a boy to be US President and she was convinced she would have to move to India to be the PM (when I shared with her Indira Gandhi was my country's first PM and then we had Sonia Gandhi - who is a foreigner as head of a major party (she nominated Manmohan Singh to the post - which itself was historic for India!). She had brought home a book that explained how/what roles US Presidents play - and all she saw were men. So, she was convinced!

To every little girl who dreams big: Yes, you can be anything you want—even president. Tonight is for you. -H pic.twitter.com/jq7fKlfwGV

So, just for that, am happy! Guess now the battle begins.
