Day 93: or The Day I Tried To Explain Politics

At dinner tonight, the girls and I were eating quiche and someone mentioned the Chinese. The 17 year old is going on a school trip for April break and that led to communism. Being the "wise" one at the table, the girls asked me about the left vs right, socialist vs communist issues. I did as best I could, but the 14 year old called me out by saying, "the way you explain it, the left is good". Oops. So I tried to explain things from a conservative point of you, just to even things out. The Dad sat down for a bit, but I'm not sure he was listening. I'm sure half of what I said was simplified beyond any meaning, but what else could I do.


The rest of the day was uneventful. Today was the last bad day of weather for the week, supposedly. Soon, I'll beginning packing at prepping for my trip, but for know, it's all still in my head. 5 more days, then Spain and Greece. It's going to be a long week.
