A couple of weeks ago, reporter at The Post named Colby (some of whose stories I've edited) put out a call for 7-year-olds to be in a video she was shooting about the presidential race. A bunch of parents, including me, responded, and today was the day of the shoot.
Rachel has told Simone and Sydney about it, and on Sunday morning Nicole asked Rachel what she thought of the presidential race. "Odd and complicated," Rachel replied. She also informed us that she thinks Trump looks like a squashed orangutan. Out of the mouths of babes...!
Anyway, I started my shift just as they were beginning to shoot, and they didn't let parents in the room to watch. Apparently they showed kids clips of presidential ads and asked them to respond; they hope to get the video on The Post's website before the Iowa caucuses Feb. 1.
Drew said Rachel apparently got into a lively discussion about the Islamic State with one boy, so much so that Colby had to interrupt them and say, that's interesting, but it's not really what they were there to talk about.
After the shoot, she told Drew that Rachel was "knows a lot about a lot of things. She's spunky and she has a lot of opinions" and isn't hesitant about sharing them.
She and Drew stopped by my desk on the way out, and she pulled my hat over my head as a joke and then climbed into by lap. It was early in the night, so I got to cuddle with her a bit. Later, Liz, one of the editors, said she thought Rachel was very cute. I had to agree.
