My Daughter Names her Dream Ticket
My daughter, at the age of four and half, has passed into the sponge stage where she absorbs everything that is said and seen around them. She is particularly interested to know the names and jobs of the people she sees on the cover of my Newsweek. Yesterday we had the following discussion in the car:
Her: Are we going to have a new president?
Me: Yes, we're going to have a new president.
Her: I want Giuliani to be our new president.
Me: OK, dear.
pause
Her: Does Condoleezza Rice help the president.
Me: Yes she does.
Her: Is Condoleezza going to help the new president?
Me: That's up to the new presdient.
pause
Her: Is Giuliani a girl?
Me: No, Giuliani is a man.
Her: Is Hillary a girl?
Me: Yes, Hillary is a girl.
Her: I want Giuliani to be the new president and I want Hillary to help her.
Her: Are we going to have a new president?
Me: Yes, we're going to have a new president.
Her: I want Giuliani to be our new president.
Me: OK, dear.
pause
Her: Does Condoleezza Rice help the president.
Me: Yes she does.
Her: Is Condoleezza going to help the new president?
Me: That's up to the new presdient.
pause
Her: Is Giuliani a girl?
Me: No, Giuliani is a man.
Her: Is Hillary a girl?
Me: Yes, Hillary is a girl.
Her: I want Giuliani to be the new president and I want Hillary to help her.

You seem to be using code style for your quoted conversation. As a result, your daughter's last line is scrolling out of the box and being cut off, rather than wrapping around. (I'm guessing though that she said she wants Hillary to marry Giuliani, or something to that effect.)
Thanks for pointing that out - fixed!
Your daughter wants Giuliani to be president? Bede!
