Yesterday was election day. Fortunately, we had an in-service day at work, which means our work day begins at 8:00 AM instead of 7:10 AM. This later start allowed us to leave late from home, be among the first at the polls, and still make it to work on time after dropping off the kids. Since the polling location is close to our house and on the way to the kids' school, we took them with us. The conversation in the car on the way went a little something like this:
Me: We are going to vote before we go to school today, so we are going to take a different route and make a quick stop on our way.
Everly: Boat? We are goin on a boat? Yay!
Me: No, honey. Vote. Not boat.
Everly: Whatsa vote?
Me: When we vote, we are saying who we want to be our leaders. Then other people vote who they want. Whoever gets the most votes, wins, and gets to be the leader.
Everly: I want to be a leada!
Me: Well, this is for grown-ups. But maybe when you are a grown up!
Everly: When Ima goewn up yike you, I want to be a leada!
Me: I have no doubt that you will, if that is what you want.
Everly: I do!
This conversation may just go down in history. You never know.
