Setting the stage: I’m waiting for the ever unpredictable bus to come home with my first and second grade cherubs this afternoon. Rain, cold, my frustration with the bus now being 15 minutes later then normal since my house is so far off the road I need to wait on the street with the baby in the front carrier tucked under my husbands oversized coat.

Ahh the bus, little bodies bouncing their backpacks thru the aisle to the stairs of the bus.. distressed faces.. oh no.. I don’t like it when they get off the bus upset.. not a good way to start the afternoon… remain upbeat.. “Hi guys, how was the day?”… this is classic and I hope when this Presidential Campaign is over I will forever remember the distressed faces… READY?

“MOM, Your not going to believe this! There is this woman, Harry Clinton, and she wants to be President, but if she IS, then she’s going to make us all go to school for two more hours longer a day”

(no this isn’t a typo, he called her Harry and the hours longer is not proper english but he was sooo worked up and is only 6).

With this my second grader started in, it appears this version of the campaign trail hit the classroom from the teacher and I ended up with both kids in a full blown tizzy walking up the driveway begging me NOT to vote for “Harry” Clinton..

The funny thing is? We already went to vote and my husband and I made a point of bringing all four kids with us and showed them the process and explained the process and talked about how lucky we were to have the opportunity to vote for our President. But it appears all this was forgotten and shadowed by that one pure threat of school extending another two hours.
