Kids, You Know?

I went to a meeting Tuesday night with a handful of local merchants in Cook County. We're (they're) trying to get a group together to help bolster small business revenue locally. I took Anika with me since Beth has school Tuesday nights. Anika loves my computer shop and even has a cot there to lay down on.

The mayor was at the meeting, as were the owner of the local newspaper and several other business owners (obviously). I had a hard time keeping Anika quiet and to herself as she grew bored. Once about every 150 seconds, I tried to tell her to quiet down, quit kicking the table, don't draw on that, etc. There were several other conversations going on in addition to the speaker of the meeting. Anika wasn't the only person bored enough to find other entertainment.

I had to get stern with her one more time, and turned around to listen (or act as if I was). I felt a pat on my arm and turned back to her. She was pointing directly at Mayor Barr and said aloud, "Well he needs to be quiet too!"

I love her. She's so fair.
