One of our local parliamentary candidates knocked on the door this afternoon

Quite unusual these days, but appreciated because you never learn much about the CVs of the individuals from their centrally produced campaign leaflets.

Unfortunately at that moment I had to take an important call. My 13 yo wandered into the hallway and I shot her a warning glance not to harrass the nice man and his hardworking team. Fat chance 🤦‍♀️ In the 3 minutes I was on the phone she managed to grill them on everything from school funding to the state of our road, and insinuated that their manifesto was a little less than honest (I wonder who she got that idea from 😁).

I hurriedly rescued the canvassers from my daughter who signed off in classic style:

"Well I can't stand here talking all day, I've got homework to finish!" 🤣🤣🤣

I almost feel I owe them my vote by way of apology ☺️

Your precious daughter is a star! 💫💫💫 This lovely post made me laugh and if she ever becomes a politician I would definitely vote for her! 🤭🤭🤭 The politician at the door should be glad to get an opinion from the future generation as kids are our future so kids matter most in my opinion! 💖💖💖

@MommyLucy I'll support whatever path she chooses, but I really hope she doesn't become a politician!

@SunshineGirl Awwww! 💖💖💖 As you know I only watch kids television so I never watch the news but according to my husband and my daddy I would never survive in politics because in order to be a politician you have to be a little mean so my husband and my daddy both say I am WAY too gentle and good natured to survive as a politician as I would be destroyed! 😥😥😥 They don't say this to be mean in fact they tell me it as a compliment that I have a good heart! 😇😇😇 They say I would make a terrible billionare too as they say you don't get to that level of power by being nice! 😭😭😭 So I hope she stays out of politics too and I hope she keeps being your favourite super cool gymnast! 😘😘😘
