Yesterday I spent time with Carter talking about the importance of election day. My best explanation included: We are lucky to live in a democracy because we get to vote or pick our leaders and the laws in our country. After dinner we had plans to meet Mike at the polls so we could both vote. I wanted someone to help me wrangle kids, and I also wanted Carter to see the voting process. This is what transpired shortly after our democracy and voting talk:
Carter: Mom?
Me: Yes?
Carter: When we go to vote for our leaders, will you pick me?
Me: (inwardly laughing, outwardly very serious) Well, you aren't allowed to be a leader until you are 18 years old.
Carter: (crestfallen) oh, ok.
Carter Shadle, 2025!
