Voting Day

I'll give you one guess to figure out who I voted for today:

We have received up to 10 calls a day every day for the past week from the Romney and McCain campaigns wanting us to vote for them. I'm flattered that you would want my vote...really, I am, but we are in the midst of trying to teach our 4 year old that pestering is NOT a good thing. These calls have not helped us get that point across. So needless to say, I'm glad that voting day is upon us and we can go back to our daily routine of getting 10 calls a day from solicitors and not candidates.

I pulled up to the voting precinct and parked beside a van that was covered with colorful bumper stickers...the majority of them read along the lines of "Impeach Bush!", "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry", and "Proud to be a Liberal", but right in the middle were two bumper stickers that said "Neuter is Cuter" and "Share the road with bicycles". I may be completely wrong, but I am thinking that he is probably an angry democrat that hates little puppies...and he is probably so angry because he constantly has a skinny bicycle seat stuck up his rear. But you know, I'm totally guessing here. Abby LOVED his van because it had stickers all over it, and she asked why we didn't have stickers on our van. "Because we aren't raging lunatics, honey." She was satisfied with that answer.

So, we have voted. The girls enjoyed their "I voted" stickers. Emma loved her's so much that she tore it, threw a fit, and immediately got thrown in bed upon our arrival home, thus missing the photo-op (pics taken with the point and shoot camera...she still comes around periodically). Abby enjoyed getting her first lesson in politics and why we vote, and she even told the sticker-giver-outer that she can say that Pledge of Allegiance. My little performer patriotic child.
