Obama or Madonna

While watching the President’s press conference last week I asked my 2 year old daughter if she knew who was on TV.  She used to be able to tell me but I hadn’t asked for a while so I thought it was a good time for a quiz.  She promptly responded, “Yes, that is Madonna”.  So I asked again and quickly she says, “Madonna”.  This left me wondering a couple of things, the first being how does she even know the name Madonna?  I then decided she must be wise beyond her years.  She was creating a parallel between the two “rock star” figures.  She obviously isn’t old enough to remember when Madonna was famous for her talents, she only sees the Madonna who is famous by whatever means necessary to keep her in the media.  The similarity between the two are that they are both media hyped celebrity types who deserve a fraction of the press they are given.  You just don’t how proud I am that my young daughter is able to recognize this.  She has a very bright future ahead of her.  Oh sure, some will say she was just confusing her words as they do sound alike.  Think what you want, I know the truth.
