Out of the mouths of very smart babes....

My friend just called me to tell me that I would be so proud of her son( Thurman) who is eight.....Thurman was sitting talking with his mom and his father's sister( Aunt Bubbles) who is visiting from Texas..and he asks,,"Mama, who are you going to vote for?" and she responds. " Sweetie, I have already voted and I voted for Barack Obama"......and then his Aunt Bubbles pipes in" I have already voted too Thurman, I voted for Mitt Romney"....and he turn and looks at her and says.." that was not a good choice because Mitt Romney only cares about rich people but Barack Obama cares about everyone"....She looks shocked and asked him who told him that and he responds...Ummm, " I dont know but it is the truth"....and then she asks him who he thinks is going to win and he says.." I think Barack Obama 'cause most people are smart enough to know that Mitt Romney is a bad choice"....hahahahahahahaha...

2. Kids always pick the Democrat

We used to have mock elections at school. We don't anymore but the kids talk about it plus we teach the election process this time of year. And the kids always always always choose the Democrat. I've been teaching over 30 years and every single presidential election this is the case.

Just the other day my 6th graders were talking about it and several said Romney is a rich guy who doesn't like people. And they all agreed Obama is a good president and they would vote for him if they were old enough.

Two things I tell people about elections and school.
1. Kids always ask who I am voting for and I always respond with 'Who do YOU think I should vote for?' That promotes discussion and learning, which is why I'm there, instead of indoctrinating them with my own political views.
2. When I ask them who I should vote for they ALWAYS pick the Democrat. Never fails.
