Around my water cooler

I'm sure that in your workplace today, there was talk of the election.

There was at mine too. Only, I hang out with 7-year-olds all day. Still, you'd be surprised at how similar your conversation and my conversation probably were:

[Names were changed to protect the innocent, yet hilarious.]

Mrs. Cox: We're going to read Arthur Meets the President because today is a special day. Who knows why today is important?

Alex: We have an assembly?

Mrs. Cox: No, it's election day. Today all the adults in America get to vote for who will be the next President.

Alex: Oh yea! I hope Bronco Bama wins! [we are in Orange and Blue Country, don't forget] Because that other lady is loco! [twisting his finger beside his head]

Andre: Can girls be President, or only boys?

Mrs. Cox: No, women can be the President or Vice President too. If John McCain wins tonight, Sarah Palin will be our Vice President.

Alex: Yea, she's loco! [resumes finger twisting]

Andre: Oh yea, I remember her. My Grandpa thinks she's hot!


See, even the kids know the most important thing about Sarah Palin is that she's hot.
