Like a KNIFE in my HEART

filed under: Idle Chatter

Welcome to Super Tuesday. Let me tell you how mine started.

First, I woke up three and a half hours after I went to sleep (show opened last night - huzzah!) and staggered out into the kitchen, blinking and clutching my head (wine and cheese reception and only-ate-olives-for-dinner hangover - huzzah!)

And, barely awake, I stumbled into this dialogue:

Max: Mommy, are we voting today?

Mommy: Yes, buddy. Do you want to come with us?

Max: Yes. I want to vote.

Mommy: Okay. You can't vote yourself, but you can come with me.

Max: Okay. Do you know who you're voting for?

Mommy: Yes. We're voting for Obama.

Max: Daddy, you too?

Daddy: Yep.

Max: (Thinks) I'm voting for McCain.

Unbelievable. How do they find these ways to hurt you?

Of course I have a conniption like he's just unleashed a newly learned curse word. "WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT?!" I holler. "WHERE DID YOU EVEN HEAR THAT NAME?!"

Sigh.

Don't panic. Just remember he can't actually vote yet. There will come a day when he can, and you won't bloody well be able to control who he votes for then. (Like when my dad threatened to refuse to do whatever it was I needed to have him do so I could vote absentee while I was in college because I was, don'cha know, a LIBERAL! I voted for the "wrong guy" anyway.)
