A few McCanlessisms for today…
Kelly Sloan, Miss South Carolina and Miss Hartsville visited THA today and read to all of our classes. McCanless was most excited to explain to me what she was wearing! She was super impressed with her sparkly crown, short black hair and beautiful clothes. “MOM, she even had on Jimmy Choos!” Floored, I asked her how she knew and why she cared that our state beauty had on designer shoes!? She said, “Well, I asked her.”
Tonight at the dinner table, she was very inquisitive about Daddy’s race. Mel was working late, so I explained as best as I could all of her questions regarding the upcoming Mayor’s Election. Over every other bite or so, she would stop and ask when Daddy would be in charge of Hartsville, or if that meant she could do whatever she wanted in Hartsville, or if we had to move to the White House. (Hmmm, not yet. Apparently, she has higher expectations for this race than any of us.) She continued to quiz me and finally asked me where Daddy was running?
“Daddy is running in this race. How long will it take to get there?” “Does he have to run around Hartsville like in the Turkey Trot?”

I love that McCanless still remembers Jimmy Choo! Sorry for Daddy, but I think that is something that will stick for her the rest of her life.

Apparently McC and Shea have been discussing “the race” also. We had to stop our book and discuss it the other day. We were talking about change (Who Moved My Cheese?) and Shea was sad that HIS daddy had to be a judge and couldn’t be the Mayor anymore. I tried comparing it to moving up from 4K to 5K and hopefully cleared the air a little.
