I have spent the last month trying to explain the voting process to Ava. I think she gets it for the most part. She watched me fill out my ballot then drop it off. I told her who was running and showed her pictures. I asked her who she would vote for she said Obama when I asked why she said "because he is brown like me". Yeah. Well that is not how you choose our next president but I guess at 4 that is the only thing she can identify with. I told her this morning that Obama will be our new president. Yea! she said I voted right. I then asked her if she knew who our old president was. She said John McCain?
Maybe the next election will be easier to explain.
