What is, “Mom, I think I need to vote for McCain now.”
Brig said this. And let me just say that in this election, he actually will get to vote, because his 18th birthday is just days before the election! He is so excited! Anyway..
I asked Brig, “Why do you want to vote for McCain?”
Brig replied, “You know Sarah Palin? Her son Trig? Well, Trig rhymes with Brig!
[We had already had the conversation about Trig having Down syndrome, which really intrigued Brig.]
So I said, “That’s fine, but I thought you were going to vote for Obama.”
Brig replied, “Well, I still want Obama to win.”
Ya know, I’ll bet there are others out there who base their election decision on about the same criteria!
