I showed a picture of waxman to two of my Gran daughters.They were scared and asked me if he was a perv.[Short kid speak of pervert].
I said I did not think so but was not sure.I explained to them that this man was one of many attempting to decide a major part of their future.
One Grand daughter asked why should an old man be involved so much.
The other Grand daughter made a nasty comment on his looks,to which I replied that was not very nice,but I believe his Mother still dresses him,as I assume they cohabited.[Could be wrong].
They fortunately are very smart for their age and know the difference between Dems and Repubs.
I sort of lied to them,and said,most Dems look like that.
They had to all sleep in the bed wit Granny that night,while I slept on the couch.It was worth it!
In future if they ask about the appearance of Democrats, you can use the dodge that “this is what they look like on the inside.” This is a good start, to wax poetically about the harm it does a person to be filled with bitterness, envy and hate. And while it doesn’t always show at first glance, they cannot hide their true appearance for long.
Likewise, take the opportunity to explain that appearances are not everything, but once you get to know a person, they may look ugly on the outside, but be beautiful within, and vice versa. And that often, the most beautiful people are miserable inside, because they know that outside beauty doesn’t last, and yet that is all they have. Once it is gone, they have nothing.
