I took my two babies with me to vote yesterday. It was raining and cold, but we went. I am always surprised when Rocky wants to go with me, versus staying with the older kids at his grandparents' house. Yesterday was one of those days he just decided to accompany me. So off to the firehouse to carry out our civic duty we went.
On the way in, Rocky asked what we were voting for. I told him it was for Congressmen. He said, "Those are the people in Congress, right?" Yes, I said, but how do you know what Congress is? He gave me his usual reply - "I just do." (It is freaky - somehow he does.) He skipped along some more, then asked, "What do these Congressmen do?" Help run the country, I say. Just then, we get to the doors, and he asks, "Do they get to carry swords?" Uh, no, I answer. No swords, not anymore. He enters the building, turns to me, and says, "OOh, too bad".
One less career possibility for my little boy.
