Today our country elects its 45th president, and while “the media” has bombarded us with angles and ads, we thought we’d get a fresh perspective and find out what — if anything— kids were saying about the candidates and the presidency.
Once we dug in, a couple things became clear— the kiddos are picking up much more than we expected. They’re processing what it all means through the world as they understand it. This made for some sweet, hilarious, and sometimes shockingly insightful quotes and conversations.
We’ve collected some of our favorites here (as always, shared with permission of the parents). LittleHoots is an app that helps parents around the world keep memories with their children.

This girl is truly pure. Yes, Emma. All these people need some friends.
Juana you are an ugly person inside and out . People like you whom reproduce are are akin to plague ridden street rats infesting the sewage
;-; Its sad to see when young children are scared of the president of the United States of America. ;-; 0.o
Sadly, most of these are at the very least influenced by adults, or repeated by the children. Too many seem entirely out of character for a child, and I have 3. None of them, and the eldest is nearly 12, have ever made a political statement. They're more interested in lego, minecraft and Harry Potter.
Agree! And it's sort of worse the post is from the ceo of the app. Either the parents are using the app the wrong way or the ceo is using it the wrong way. Just leave the kids out of this, if you're a grown-up, you have grown-up ways of expressing your self... I'm sad.

I agree. Where are the anti-Hillary " kid quotes?" -#americachosewisely
There are some actually. These quotes reflect however, the impression from a children's point of view. There was one silent, rationale candidate and one load, emotional one. (I am not making any point on the political rationale here.) It is clear that the emotional one makes more impression on children...and it is easy to understand that this not necessarily was positive.
