Donny

As many of you know, my ex wife is very religious and conservative. She's a great mother, however, and includes my son in all appropriate aspects in her life. She tries to allow him to form his own opinions.

Last night I was taking my son to dinner. It was just he and I in my truck and I wanted to have a conversation with him. I asked him:

ME: So, who'd you vote for in the election?

HIM: Well, I didn't go with mommy when she voted. She told me she voted for President Bush. I wanted the other guy to win.

ME: Oh yeah? Why did you want the other guy to win?

HIM: Because he wants to give flashlights to everybody so they can see at night. I think he wants to give all of us flashlights.

ME: Oh really? That's a good reason. But he didn't win, huh?

HIM: No. He only got 3 votes and President Bush got 19. I'm kinda sad the other guy didn't win.


I had to do all I could to keep from laughing really hard. It was SO CUTE hearing a 4 year old say these things. But he was being VERY serious so I didn't want to laugh.
