Conversation in the car this afternoon:
Me: See my sticker? That says I voted.
Jarrah: I want one.
Me: Well, you have to vote to get one. And be 18.
Jarrah: We talked about that in school.
Me (excited): You did? You talked about the election?
Jarrah: Yeah. We learned you can vote for broccoli.
Me: Broccoli? What were the other vegetable choices?
Jarrah: (embarrassed expression) Oh. And John McCone.
Me: Ohhhhh! (cracks up) Broccoli! You mean Barack Obama?
Jarrah: Yeah. Barackabama.

I'm sure cabbages would be better leaders than some of the options!
That is great that they talk about that at such a young age!! How cute!
I love how she associated both options with food, lol.
@Mamasphere: I noticed that, too! And it didn't surprise me a bit. ;)
Jarrah is going to be a great political analyst someday. :-)
Well, that explains why George Bush, Sr. was so averse to the stuff (broccoli, that is). ;)
@Caroline: HA! I forgot about that! :)
My five year old Olivia was drawing at the dining room table and I was in the kitchen. She yells at me, "We had to vote for either licorice or lollipops today at school. I voted for Brock Bama." I had her call my mom and repeat that. Even though I have no idea what she's talking about with the candy. So funny.
haha! I love that! so cute!
Nathan had a mock election at school today where they voted to wear blue or red shirts on Thursday. They even got "I voted" stickers! In a much closer race than what is currently going down, the blue shirts took it!
When I turned on the news this evening he exclaimed, "Oh, there's Obama!"
What a day!
