Sarah Palin May Abandon Her Family and Move To America?

SARAH PALIN MAY ABANDON HER FAMILY TO MOVE TO AMERICA?

(Scary Senior Momentsburg, Vortexia) -- The other day, while watching the news about Governor Sarah Palin’s resignation, grandma made a startling observation.

“So that means she’ll probably leave her kids now and move to America,” she said.

My husband Dave and I looked at each other.

“What do you mean, mom?” my husband asked.

“Well, she can’t bring her family to America with her.”

Intrigued, Dave pressed her further. “When you say ‘America’ you mean ‘Washington,’ don’t you?”

As in, Palin could have her eyes on the White House. Surely, that was what his mentally alert 92-year-old mother, who watches the evening news on a daily basis, meant.

Rather frustrated, she replied, “You know what I mean! She can’t bring her children with her if she moves to America.”

Dave shook his head. “Mom, Alaska is a state; not a different country. She couldn’t have been on a presidential ticket if she wasn’t an American.”

“Oh, that’s right.” Grandma looked chagrined, but also more than a little annoyed.

We won’t mention who she voted for in the last election, nor will we broach the subject of voter intelligence. It would be unkind and pointless and besides, this blog aims to steer clear of political controversies.

That said, it’s senior moments like these that make for priceless memories.
