Developing Political Opinions

We've updated you in previous posts about Dorothy's political activism, how on election day she tried so valiantly to vote but was thwarted. Who would she have voted for? We wonder, as I am sure all of you do. We got our answer this week.
Dorothy's favorite toy is my cell phone. It makes cool noises, and the pictures on the screen change when she pushes buttons. Usually, I have a picture of her on the wallpaper, and a picture of Dallin on the front screen. But the other day, I opened my phone after she'd been playing with it not to find a picture of Dorothy, but of President Obama. Huh, I thought. That's bizarre. I looked at my phone's history, and it turns out that somehow she figured out how to get online with my phone, she downloaded the picture of Pres. Obama, and made it the wallpaper. Wow. That was subtle Dorothy. I laughed, kept it as my wallpaper for a day, then moved on.
A few days later, I again opened my phone after she'd been playing with it to find a picture of Michelle Obama. She had done the same thing a second time! I think she' trying to communicate with us...
