I’m glad that we have the right to vote. I’m sick of the ads and all of the political talk. I’m heading to bed early today. I can learn everything I need to know in the morning. My hope is that we actually know who the president will be by the time I wake up.
Nick learned all about elections in preschool this week. They did some matching exercises with which candidate liked which food. I hope that he grows up to vote by looking at the issues at hand and not based on which was likes the same food.
Sally didn’t really understand voting at all yet. She’s to the stage where she knows that she has to “agree” with her brother to watch a TV show before I’ll turn it on. I’m glad that they are learning how to share and negotiate their opinions. I think some of our politicians could learn a ton from the little kids. Nick learned the term brotherly this week as well. I heard many words used to describe the debates and other campaigning, brotherly was not one of them.
I hope you all exercised your right to vote today (or in early voting).
