No More!

While it's no secret that we're less than thrilled with our nation's most recent choice for president, we do recognize the historic nature of this year's inauguration and therefore set aside some time to watch the festivities on TV. The atmosphere in our house was pretty low key. Unlike the inaugural crowd who shamelessly booed our outgoing president, we believe that God commands us to respect our leaders, and we accordingly maintained a respectful attitude while watching Obama take office and deliver his first speech as president. So you can imagine that we were taken by surprise when, in the middle of the speech, Joshua marched right up to the TV and proclaimed, "No more! No more!" Shaking his head, he turned off the TV and reiterated, "No more!" Surprised, amused, and maybe even a little proud of our 3-year-old son, we couldn't help but laugh. And Joshua broke out into a big mischevious grin, as if he knew exactly what he had done.
