Little girl in tears: “I’m tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney.” (video)

10/31/2012 11:36am by 23

OMG this is absolutely adorable.

A four year old girl in Colorado is very upset about how long the presidential election is going, and she wishes it would just be over. And there’s video. It’s so cute, it burns.

MOM (before camera starts rolling): Why are you crying?

4-YEAR-OLD ABIGAIL: (Sniffles) Just because I’m trired (mis-spelling intentional) of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney.

MOM: That’s why you’re crying?

ABIGAIL: (Sniffles, nods head a few times, coughs, tear rolls down cheek.)

MOM: It’ll be over soon, Abbie, okay… okay?

ABIGAIL: (Nods again, closes eyes unable to contain her sorrow.)

MOM: The election will be over soon, okay?

ABIGAIL: (Now audibly sobbing, gasping for breath) Okay. (Breaks down again)

    It is a cute video, but four years old is too young to be upset about politics.

    I think it is possible that the parents themselves are yelling at the TV whenever there’s a political ad and that behavior has infused itself onto her.  Kids take on a lot of emotional baggage based on what they see and hear around them and if they see the ones they love getting upset, then they too will get upset.My parents had big arguments around me and my sisters when I was young and they got divorced when I was four.  I don’t have too many memories of that thank goodness, but I know my sisters who were six and ten probably have those memories or their fragile minds at the time had to work a lot to repress the memories.
    If your child is impressionable, don’t let them watch regular TV during the campaign season.  Wait until he/she is asleep or out of the room before you watch your favorite shows that have political ads for commercials.  When you’re arguing, go to a room that you know has sound proof walls.And while you may think it cute, don’t nationally publicize your child’s feelings about a topic they should be too young to know about.  Instead put the camera away, figure out why your child is even having those feelings, and spare them from future embarrassment.I’m not meaning to preach, I just think there’s more to why this little girl is so upset in the first place and it seems the mom was just trying to make her daughter into a new Honey Boo Boo.

      Despite peolple telling me I am an idiot I insist that I am also a horrible person so I don’t mind disagreeing with your comments.  I am sorry your parents argued and divorced, it sounds like an unhealthy situation.  But I thiink kids are often smarter and tougher than some give them credit for.  Often it is the adults faking nice that children know is not true that scars deepest. 
      My parents argued all the time, largely I’ve come to expect for the make up sex.  They would tell us it wasn’t our fault, mommy and daddy love each other, but disagree because things are important, and they want us to be safe and happy when we grow up.  Also, they would sit us in fromt of the tv whether a moon landing (dated), a resignation (also dated, but still very young), a debate, or campaign ads telling us to watch this. this is history.  I love the memories and I love them for it. 
      So we dont’ know why Abbie is upset.  4 years olds can cry cause they missed the ice cream truck, or they lost their balloon, or they fell and didn’t get hurt but want to make sure you care or there are too many political ads on teevee.  If she has loving parents, which from the voice over it sounds like she does, she is going to be just fine.  And if it is an election year, she will have a great video shown at her wedding.
       
      Parents can really screw kids up. But by sharing Abbie’s election year fussiness, her parents are sharing our common humanity.  If only all parents were so humane.

         Or Abbie cried, because, just before the filming, Mommy said that Bronko Bama killed Mr. Rabbit and had him for dinner.

          “Bronco Bama” — I love it! Brings to mind a bow-legged Barrack in chaps, riding a drone through the sky, waving his hat…
          ;-)

          [sorry to piggy-back on your comment, Karmanot, but Discus wouldn't let me post direct for some reason, and I thought this image was soooo important! :-D ]

       Give them a Xanax and let them sleep in a laundry hamper until Honey Boo Boo is on the TV.

    Save up those tears, kid. You’ve got a lifetime of this bullshit to look forward to.

    • Trikke

      She has a lifetime of paying for “bronko bama” failed presidency.  She has good reason to cry.  We do, too.

      • Rolaugh418

        stop fear mongering 

        • Trikke

           Take your blinders off.

             Take your Tea Party tin foil hat off!

            • Trikke

              I am not a Tea Party member. I am an Independent.  YOU are a brain-dead libtard with barely 3 brain cells to rub together and you will be responsible for destroying this country if you vote for the traitor, obama!  Take YOUR tin foil hat off!

              • http://adgitadiaries.blog-city.com karmanot

                I vote Green, dip shit.

      • http://adgitadiaries.blog-city.com karmanot

         More likely she’ll be paying for Bushie II’s failed presidency.

        • Trikke

          Wake the hell up!  You are not paying attention to what this POS so-called president has already done to destroy this country.  The evidence is right before your eyes but you cover your eyes and holler “la-la-la-la” so you cannot hear.  YOU will be responsible for destroying this country!

    I cried like that too—when I saw Honey Boo Boo for the first time.

  • hollywoodstein

    It gets better.

  • Dano2

    I was crying like this in July after my wife said we couldn’t have a DVD to bypass commercials.

    Best,

  • nicho

    I reached that stage months ago.

    This 2012 campaign is almost four years old. No matter who wins we will have some respite from  Wednesday November 7th until January 20th when the 2016 campaign will begin in earnest. God save us all.

    • Sweetie

       There is no respite. The media talks of succession even before the new man is inaugurated.

    • hollywoodstein

      Don’t be sure they’ll wait till January.

    I Think we all are, Abbie
