Harrison voted at school the other day. He voted for McCain! How have I failed him as a mother? Seriously, though...when I asked him why he voted for McCain he told me because in their Jr. Scholastic he only had time to read the John McCain article and not the Barack Obama article. He then decided he should vote for the one he'd read about.
I'm getting him some reading material right now...
On another note, I had a hard lesson this week in racism in my community. My daughter came home and shared the comments that some of the older girls at school were making about Obama. Comments that these girls had overheard their parents saying. Comments that saddened me, that in the year 2008 people continue to say harmful things about someone for nothing other than the color of their skin.
It lead to quite a discussion between Zoey and myself.
I'm not ok with that. Have we really made such little progress from 1956?!
