Yesterday at school pickup I walked into Owen's classroom with my "I voted" sticker on. Owen was sitting there eating some popcorn with his friend Max. Max asked who I voted for and I told him Barack Obama (which Owen said his classmates think is named Baracko Bama). Max said, "Aw, man, my mom voted for Hillary Clinton. I wanted her to vote for Barack Obama. He's cool!"
According to our small sample, Obama's got the youth vote. Unfortunately at age 8 he couldn't actually cast a ballot.
Tonight we are having 2 Chapel Hill-related families over to watch the Dook game at 6:00. Should be fun. One family has a child who is a friend of Douglas's and one is a classmate and friend of Owen's, so they will both be entertained if not by the TV.
See, that's the problem with the youth vote, they don't actually turn up and vote!
ReplyDeleteVery cute story.
