Tomorrow is the first of 140 days of the legislative session.
My dad took me to the Capitol to have lunch with my mom today. We met her at her office and we walked through the super-secret underground tunnel. I ran the whole way, like a train barreling through a mineshaft, because the tunnels slope in a most fascinating manner. It would be ideal if I could take my tricycle there but I am supposing that might interfere with business.
They have decent food in the Capitol prepared by real chefs. My dad had the Monday special (catfish and vegetables) and my mom and I shared grilled cheese and french fries. My beverage of choice was coconut water. My dad had a white chocolate mocha. Had it been Thursday, we could have enjoyed the sundae bar. Alas, I am sure that I will have many, too MANY, opportunities to dine there in the upcoming months!
The politician in me emerged while we were eating lunch. I went over to the next table and said "my name is Atticus. I am three. What's your name? How old are you?" And, just like that, I won some votes.
After lunch, my mom returned to work and my dad took me on a tour of the Capitol.
