Election Day 08

After a month long government study, the zoo anxiously watched the polls. The numbers poured in as home made graphs were colored and victory dances celebrated. Once the outcome was obvious, I headed to bed while the guys stayed up to watch Obama address the country as president elect.

The next morning was full of questions. What happens next? When does Obama take office? What happens to President Bush? What should McCain supporters do? It was yet another conversation that left me reminded that my little ones are growing up. When were discussions of Scooby Doo and Pokemon replaced by questions of politics and moral responsibility? I was again reminded of the awesome responsibilty we have as parents to educate our children.
