I voted! It was an interesting experience. While waiting in line to check in to vote, my 8 yr old wanted to know why she couldn't vote and then proceeded to tell me how she voted at school and she said "Remember, I voted for that white guy?!? I wanted him and not Barack Obama." Oh dear...the things they say! So the rest of the experience went like this:
Daughter: Why can't I vote?
Me: Because you are not 18. You have to be 18 to vote. You can vote in 10 years.
Daughter: Am I going to live with you and daddy then? (whining and getting louder) I want to live with you and daddy FOREVER!
Me: Of course you'll live with me and daddy forever. Now just wait here right outside the booth while I vote and daddy should be out soon since he went first.
Daughter: Mom! Are you done yet???
