Political Statement

My wife and I were watching a clip about a parliamentary session, where the politician gave a very vague statement, something like, “We do not condone bad behaviour.” My wife complained that the speaker didn’t answer the question. Of course he didn’t, he’s a politician. He gave a political statement that can be interpreted either ways. It’s giving commitment without being committed. It’s stating a disagreement without agreeing what is being agreed.

Anyways my two kids were complaining this morning about having to eat vegetables and being dramatic as they were, my son said the vegetables could kill him if he eat too much. I replied that what couldn’t kill him, will make him stronger. My daughter, his little sister, heard that and twisted the statement. “Did you hear that, brother?” she asked. “Chocolate doesn’t kill you so we eat chocolate! Chocolate will make us stronger!”

I am not saying the two incidents above are related but I am quite worried. 😓

Thank you for reading.
