Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Today is election day. It has been a much anticipated event in the Whittaker household. Beniah's favorite show (Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood) has an episode dedicated to voting which has now caused Beniah to decide that he gets a vote on everything from which team I choose in the family football pool (his guess is as good as mine) to whether or not he obeys me (definitely not ok). Beniah watched me vote and then watched as Tim read through the voter's guide and decided on how he is voting. He really wanted in on the action and told Tim that he needed to vote no on a certain ballot measure.
Tim wasn't thrilled with voting no, much to the disappointment of our eldest.
Beniah was finally consoled once he realized that even though Daddy voted "Yes", he wasn't going to be forced to go to a charter school.
