He is a liar, a bold-face lyin' liar face.
As we were getting ready to go to the Zoo yesterday morning, (yeah, yeah, so it was Sunday morning Church of the Zoo) The Mayor came to us and said,"There are no real joeys at the Zoo. Only paint[ed] joeys."
K and I talked to him about the kangaroos at our Zoo and assured him that they are real.
"No. They're not real. They're paint." He was adamant. He was certain.
We disagreed.
The Mayor let the subject alone...for the moment.
There was the faintest of secret smiles behind his insistence. I know he didn't really think the kangaroos were painted. He just wanted to see if he could persuade us on the point.
About an hour later when we pulled into the Zoo parking lot The Mayor said,"So, there's gonna be a Zoo Keeper in there. He's gonna talk to us. He's gonna say, THERE'S NO REAL JOEYS IN THE ZOO!"
He kept up a very convincing serious face. Even when we were standing in front of the kangaroos and we pointed out their realness, The Mayor said, "No. They're painted."
He lied with such an innocent face. It was so innocent that should he ever accept that he was wrong he would be able to look a camera and 200 million Americans in the eye and say, "I really believed that I spoke the truth when I commented about the joeys. I apologize to the American people. My advisors misinformed me."
He is going to make a great politician someday...depending on what your definition of "is" is.

You've got quite a character on your hands.
What a riot. Those damn advisors, always steering you in the wrong way! He's too adorable!
I'll vote for him just like I did Clinton.
Owen has my vote. Clinton never will.
New politicain your raising there. Good job. He's got the crying down like Clinton too from Daycare.
Of course, I might have to move you to the creepy files....because if your monica, and he's a liar like CLinton....I'm not sure where your going or I'm going to like it.
Creative little guy, isn't he?
A few years ago, at the height of the scandal, I had to endure a group of japanese tourists in Las Vegas who insisted I was Monica, and just HAD to have their picture taken with me, despite my insistence that I wasn't.
He's a great entertainer Owen! I can imagine the conversations going on in your house. Must be like a sitcom, something I'd watch, or CSPAN...then you lost me there.
Don't forget to take your blue dress to the cleaner this time!
LOL! Diminutive One has that ability as well. You have to seriously weigh everything he says. Husband and I have always said that he will end up President of the United States, or a Mob Boss. I'm afraid to speculate which it will be.
He sounds like quite a character!
Oh sister, you've got trouble on your hands! But, what would one expect?
Yes, I miss Bill. Terribly.
Too funny. By the way, thanks for the blogwarming gift. Too kind.
HA! You make a fabulous Monica.
great picture. and yes i do think he is.
I love me some bill. even though he broke my heart. wah!

I miss Bill too. Georgie doesn't quite cut it for me.
Aw man, Owen's got politician written all over him. Or maybe televangelist...
heehee!!
Yes, I do miss him...as should the rest of the "civilized" world.
And I'll vote for Owen anytime.
