It’s not really fair that kids can’t vote.
04Nov08
Older son (as we walked to the polling place on this beautiful sunny day): I am frust-er-ated that I can’t vote. It’s not really fair that kids can’t vote. Only grownups get to vote, and if kids don’t get to vote, they don’t know what president’s going to be the president. If I could vote, I would vote for Rock Obama. Because I think he will do lots of good things for the country.
Mom: What about McCain? McCain is a good man, I just don’t want him to be president.
Older son: Yeah, McCain is a good man, but McCain wants things to stay the same in the country.
Happy Election Day!

My Pee Is Like A Shooting Star 
Too cute.
My daughter had similar thoughts:
Daughter (sounding down): We got to vote at school.
Me: That sounds fun. Did you vote for Barack Obama or John McCain?
Daughter (sounding down): Pretzel.
Me: What?
Daughter: Well, we got to go register and go in a ballot booth, but then we had to vote for the snack of the day. Cracker or Pretzel. Pretzel won. I thought we were going to vote for President.
Me: Who would you have voted for?
Daughter: I was going to write in me. I just learned how to make my Js go in the right direction.
In my son’s class, they voted for Obama and McCain, he reported this morning. Obama won by a landslide, all but two of the twenty-some voters. 🙂
