This kid is rad.
They must have done something in kidergarten to celebrate the election because the oldest came home asking if "his guy" was winning and could I please turn on the news so he could see what the vote count was.
I asked him who "his guy" was and he had me name both candidates. I told him that there was a man named Barack Obama and another named John McCain. He said, "Yep, that's him, the first one you said."
"Obama?"
"Yep, Obama."
Really? I thought it was cool that he had his own little reasons for choosing of the two. So I asked him.
"Why is it that you like Obama?"
"You know Mom, he has a really nice sounding name."
Then we turned on CNN and watched for a few minutes to see that Obama was winning the popular vote. The oldest cheered, stole my "I voted" sticker and then went in the other room to play. Got to love kindergarten logic.
