Election Day Funny

I thought this was a funny one on election day. Last night our family went to Applebee's for supper(mostly b/c I had finally cleaned the kitchen floor & wanted it to stay that way for at least a couple hours). Out of the blue Cayden asked us if we knew that we were voting for a new president on Tuesday. We responded "yes" and I asked him if he knew who was running for president. He responded immediately "yes, Barack Obama & John McCain". Okay...so I asked him who he would vote for. He replies "Barack Obama". Okay...interesting. :) With an open mind :) I ask Cayden why he wouldn't vote for McCain. With a straight face he replies "Because Mom, he's bald". I had to do everything in my power not to laugh...he was just so cute & innocent. I replied by reminding him that Grandpa is bald too. He says "Yeah, but John McCain has just hair on the sides & none on top!" So funny! When I asked him when he can vote he immediately replied "Mom, you have to be 18 to vote!". Like, duh Mom, I learn all this in school, don't you know!!!

I am constantly amazed at the amount of information they learn in only 1st grade. Cayden has an extremely good memory & retains information he learns at school amazingly. Every week Cayden's teacher posts the kids individual prayer requests on a note home to the parents. This way we as parents can know the prayer requests of the kids in the class. Cayden's last week was to thank God that his Mom is having a baby & to keep him safe. I am so very thankful that our family has been blessed enough to be able to send our kids to a christian school. At times when we wonder where the money is going to come from, God reminds us to be faithful & to trust in Him. When our children come home with true excitement in what they have learned about God in school & church we can only thank God for this.
