The kids have been learning a lot about the election. Today Tyler’s teacher walked them by the polling station at school so they got to see how people vote. In class they voted for president. Tyler: “I voted for Mitt Romney, but Barack Obama won.” He used their first and last names when speaking about them. I asked Tyler why he voted for Mitt Romney and he said “I don’t know, just because.”
I have a coworker who is now in her first year of college. She asked if Obama, the First Lady, and their families could vote. She should have gone to Tyler’s school for this lecture and field trip.
