While watching Celebrity Apprentice last night (it was the finale, and the first time I'd watched) my husband reminded me of some funny things by daughter has said, and why we think she's going to be the female version of Donald Trump....

About a year ago (she was 5 at the time), she and my husband were working around the yard and out of the blue she says to him, "Dad, can you own part of a business?" Although a little startled at her very grown-up question, he answered, "Well, as a matter of fact you can, it's called stock." As she pondered that for a minute, he said "Why do you ask?" She replied, "I don't know, I was just thinking about it." Okay, then.

A few months later, we went to Chevy's for dinner and as we were waiting for our food she asked us "Is it hard to run a business?" We told her it depended on the type of businesses but that generally, yes, running a restaurant is a lot of work. "Why do you ask?" we said. "I don't know, I was just thinking about it." Okay, then.

Her Trump-like spirit continued a few weeks later as I was clearing out some old toys and books from her room. She had the brilliant idea that instead of GIVING the toys and books away, we should make a sign and go out on the corner and SELL it. She was really, really disappointed that I didn't support her quest to run her own business. I hate to stifle her ambition, but I had to draw the line.

The world will just have to wait a few more years for the next Apprentice.

I just had to laugh at a story I saw under "Weird News"  on CNN's Web site

Moms Allegedly Brawl at Chuck E. Cheese

A child's birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant was cut short after a fight broke out between two mothers. Natick police said the mom of the 9-year-old birthday boy apparently became enraged because the other woman's son was "hogging" an arcade game.

Sgt. Paul Thompson said Catherine Aliaga, 38, and Tarsha Williams, 33, both of Boston, would be summoned into court to answer charges of simple assault and battery stemming from the scuffle.

I mean, really...Who is the adult here? What happened to common courtesy and decency?! Great example to set for your children.

On another note, and then I will end my rant, I was also reading today that Billy Ray Cyrus' goal as a parent is to be his daughter Miley's best friend. I'm sorry, but isn't what she really needs a PARENT!!  Especially since she seems to be the next up and coming star, (a la Lindsey Lohan) that girl needs a parent to guide her and keep her from a lot of the trappings of fame. Whatever, dude.

Rant over. Anyone care to weigh in?
