Before we get to everything, let me point out that the Washington Wizards will win the NBA this year.
Mary Ruth & Daniel went with me to vote. MR watched me vote & noticed that I voted for Jeremy. Our honest to goodness post-vote conversation went like this:
MR: Did you vote for Uncle Jeremy?
Me: Yep. Daddy has voted for Uncle Jeremy in every election since I've known him.
MR: Why?
Me: Because Daddy's smart.
MR: Huh?
Me: Because I think he would do a good job.
MR: Will he win?
Me: Nope.
MR: How do you know?
Me: Because not everyone is smart enough to vote for him like I did... It probably didn't help that he wasn't actually running for the position.
MR: Why didn't Uncle Jeremy run for office?
Me: He's too honest.
MR: But aren't all the people running for office honest?
Me: You're a sweet girl...

 |
| We are in the back two rows... The Wife and Mary Ruth are together with me, Daniel and Susie behind them. I knew a picture was being taken, so I did my best to look like I was having fun. Really, I hated it. My eyes were shut as tight as possible and I would have rather been anywhere in the world other than there. Lucky for me, Susie hated it just as much as me, so I didn't have to ride anymore rides after this one. |
