Today I went to vote.  I only brought my daughter with me this time, bringing everyone early in the morning is too much for the senior citizens to handle I fear.

What are you teaching your children about the election process?

I found this website where I printed off the easy to understand explanation of the process.  Because it is sort of confusing isn’t it?  The caucuses, the electoral college, the states that are winner takes all versus the states that divide the delegates.  So many things to learn about and discuss.

The other night my oldest son was listening to my husband and I debate, in a friendly way, mostly.  And he said something to the effect of what is the point if you aren’t happy with any of the people.

We then had a great discussion about what is wonderful about our system.  And the fact that we can argue about it all, and disagree with each other, and publicly say that we disagree with each other, is a beautiful thing.   We explained to him what it would be like to live somewhere where you had no voice.

We will be tuning in to our television tonight.  It is an exciting time.  And I think as adults we sometimes forget that.
