Election Night

Don't worry, this post won't include any long political speeches, thoughts on health care, musings or rants about either party.  This is politics-free zone.  But I did want to record for posterity that Will knew about the election today and had opinions about the outcome.  I dropped him off at school today and on the way there we talked about how today was an important day because people were voting for the president.  I asked Will if he knew what the President's name was and he did - thank you Kindergarten!  So we talked about the election for a little while and I explained that people might be picking a different President today, or not.  Then Will became pretty worried about what the President would do if he's not the President anymore.  "But what will he do???"  I told him that the President would find lots of other stuff to do but we'd just have to wait and see how the election went.  Then I tried to explain what voting means and didn't do a great job of it and then it was time to be dropped off at school.  So we have a future concerned voter in our midst, even if he's not as concerned about the hot issues as he about Presidential unemployment.
