Presidential ball......"drop"

Tonight I was putting the girls to bed when Madison, king of all stall tactics, said:
" Mom, I wanted to stay up and watch the presidential ball drop, just like on new years eve"

I tried to explain to her that it wasn't like the ball dropping on new years eve, and that it was a dance that they go to called a ball.

She insisted it was a ball dropping.......Mr. Ashby told her so.
He also told her to stay up late to watch it? hmmmmm....

Needless to say Madison is in bed and will not get to watch the ball drop tonight.
