Today we went to a play group in a nearby community centre. Cupcake was hesitant at first but soon lost her shyness and was trying to run the other kids over with a giant car. A couple moms were discussing baby talk. I mentioned that I wasn't really certain if cupcake said any words other than hello, no and ta-ta. One mom mentioned that her daughter was watching Maury the other day and repeated at random the word 'slut'. Two of us turned to one another and wondered if Maury was the most appropriate choice for a 2 year old.
You'll all be glad to know that I have done my civic duty as a permanent Irish resident and voted in the local elections. As I am not yet eligible to vote in the European elections himself and I agreed which candidates he would vote for. I did try to talk them into giving me the European ballot but alas I was not successful. Oh well C'mon Joe Higgins! The good news is I have finally send off my application for citizenship. I am hoping to have it by the time the next general elections roll around. I really don't want to miss those!
