Friday, 11 September 2009, is the 18th birthday of my niece, the future Presidiva of the USA, "Chateau LaCour."
I don’t have a story about the day CL was born, because CL and I were not related until her daddy married my youngest sister in May of 2000. CL was almost nine years old then, her brother was 13. When I first met CL, she was about seven. She was a very lively little girl. I recall that she had a doll she’d named after her best friend; not just her friend’s first name, Laura, but her friend’s full name. I admired her devotion.
Why Presidiva? Because when CL becomes the President, she wants a more interesting title, thus she coined the word Presidiva. Say it with me Madame Presidiva! (Imagine the dance remix of Hail to the Chief!)
At 18, CL is now 17 years away from being old enough to run for Presidiva, and 19 years away from an election year in which she is old enough to run. "Chateau LaCour" in 2028!
