The election from the mouths of kids

Jo came home from school today and told me that I should vote for McCain because "Obama wants to take all of our guns away. He thinks he needs them for something." Apparently they learned more about the candidates today. She said that they had an election at school and McCain won.

This election has really made Jo think. While they were having their afternoon snack, they made up some laws that they thought were important. Here's what they came up with.

Laws:

1. No drinking or drugs
2. No bullies
3. No pirates
4. No robbers
5. Stay healthy
6. Only nice boys and girls in the town
7. There should be a fire truck by every house
8. When there's heroes like Daddy and police, you gotta get out of their way really fast so they can do their work
9. No stealing guns
10. Hunt so animals won't be hungry and die
11. Love your neighbors
12. Sometimes moms have to clean the house, and kids

Jo asked if there could be two presidents like a brother and sister, like her and Owen. I told her no, but there's a president and a vice president. She decided that Owen could be the vice president, since she made up most of the laws.

Here in California, Kaleb hoped Obama would win. But I think he heard 10 times more about Obama than McCain in the classroom setting!
