Election Day
Posted By pamelamyers on November 6, 2012
Today is election day and we are voting in the Presidential election. I was trying to explain to Sam where we were going this morning before I dropped her off at Grandmom’s house. First, I tried telling her I had to go vote. I told her this a few times but still, she looked at me very confused and said, “Mommy, why do you have to go on a boat?” I cleared up that confusion and explained, the best I could to a three year old, what voting was. I explained that we have to go and pick the person who makes all the rules we have to follow. That we pick someone and hopefully, the person Mommy picks, will win. Suddenly, very excitedly, Sam said, “I know! How ’bout….we pick an orange person!!” Hmmm…not sure how to respond to that, but I guess orange is closer to red than blue, so….That’s our girl! 🙂
Sam was so patient and good in the long line we had to wait in to vote and kept everyone smiling with her smiles. Both my mom and I let her push the big green VOTE button on the machine after making our choices so she was very proud of herself. Now tonight, we wait to see how everything turns out. Well, not Sam so much as Mark and I. We’ll have to fill in Sam tomorrow but I suspect since the candidate, no matter who wins, is not orange, or Elmo, she won’t really care!

So cute, that Sam wanted an orange person.
