Election 2008

Parker’s school held an election for grades K- 6. Each student was able to cast a vote. The Principle of the school counted the votes and John McCain was the winner.

When Parker returned home, he said “Mom, who are you going to vote for? John McCain or Barack Obama?” I was pretty impressed that he had so much knowledge of this election and I was surprised he understood the process.

So I told him who I thought I would vote for and asked, “Parker who did you vote for?” He said that he had voted for John McCain “because he had the better brain!”

In the wake of our new President Obama, I told Parker this morning who the new President was. He said, “So John McCain is the President in this country and Obama is the President in another country?!”

Maybe someday Parker will be a politician…after all, in America anything is possible!
