Vote!

Election day was always fun as a kid. The schools back then, as they are now, were the polling places. The machines were always delivered and set up the day before so we could have our own elections using the real thing. How cool was that?! Not only did it get us excited about election day, it also gave us experience using the machines so that when we turned 18 and could vote, we were more likely to do it.

Today as we drove to our local school, Will announced the he was going to vote. Being 3, he has quite a while until he'll be legal. When told he had to be 18 in order to vote, he responded, "I'm 18 now." In the blink of an eye, he will be. I hope when he can, he'll still want to vote.
