Title: "vote" . . . . . not "boat"
Post by: Knoll on March 15, 2016, 07:37:24 pm: This isn't about politics. It's mostly about fun interaction between gramps and grandson. And a tiny bit of civics.

4 yr-old grandson, Johnny, accompanied me to polling place today.
Johnny, "where are we going pawpaw?" "We are going to vote", I replied. "We are going to Boat?" "No, we are going to Vote." "That's what I said pawpaw!"
This conversation repeated itself many times on our drive.
When we arrived, there was a sign on the polling place building .... VOTE HERE.
Asked Johnny to recite his ABC's. When he got to "V," I pointed to the sign. "See that word? It says VOTE and starts with "V" ... got it?"
"Ohhh, I get it!"
He walked outta the polling place proudly displaying the I VOTED sticker the polling workers pasted on his shirt.
