It is voting day and as Americans, we all have the privilege to vote and have our voices heard. I try to keep my kids informed about their impending rights and responsibilities as they hit different ages. It occurred to me as I placed my ballot in the ballot box, that the next presidential race will have a new eager voter... Charlotte! Anyway, I digress...
I asked James who the president is now. That little man thought about it for a minute and simply said, "Doesn't ring a bell!" I really hope it is the Liberty Bell because then I at least have a starting place to help him understand why we vote and why the president is so important to our country.
James won't be able to vote until 2024 so I still have time. It would be so much easier if I still lived on the East Coast with all of the history around every corner. But at least I still have time. If it were up to James today, Mario (from Super Mario Bros) would be the president. Wouldn't that be fun!!
