I have two funny things that happened today, election day, 2004.
Armed with my books: My Teacher for President, and Duck for President, I =
told my 4 year olds that "Today is a very special day for our country. =
Something important is happening today. Can anyone tell me what it is =
?"
Without missing a beat, a pigtailed cutie shouted "It's LIBERRY DAY!" =20
Her teacher grinned and said "Well, that's what's important in our =
country!"
The second story is about one of our kindergarteners. Her mother =
decided to go vote on the way to take her child to school. When she =
told her little one she was going to vote, the little girl asked if she =
could vote too. Mom explained that you have to be 18 to vote, then =
asked, "If you could vote, who would you vote for?"
Little one thought and said, "I guess I'd vote for =
George......(pause)............Washington." Tickled, mom explained that =
George Washington was the first president of our country and that he had =
died long ago so no one can vote for him anymore.
"Well," the little one replied, "I guess I'll just vote for Abraham =
Lincoln then."
