On November 6th, Otis and Sam got to vote for the first time while at school. After a brief conference, the boys agreed to vote for Obama, But then Sam switched it up at the last minute. Sammy Max!!
Sujan took them to vote and they kept trying to peek to see who she voted for. One hint - not Sam's choice.
A few days before the election, we received an e-mail from school that stated that the discussion earlier in the day was about what the president did all day.
The answers:
He eats chicken nuggets.
He eats chocolate all the time.
He likes to keep things fair.
I don't know but I think he sits a lot.
Guess which one Otis said?
A few other anecdotes:
A few days after the election, Otis woke up one morning and said "I want Luke Skywalker and Obama to come to my house. They're nice and I want to hug them." More on the recent Star Wars obsession later.
After watching the Thanksgiving Charlie Brown episode, Otis asked me, "How come there isn't an election day Charlie Brown?" Turns out - there is one. Now I've got to track it down.
I told the boys that they would be 7-years-old the next time there was a presidential election. They let me know that there would be a summer Olympics and a new 2nd Ave T train as well when they were 7. They asked me who the next president would be. Sam guessed Mitt Romney. Otis got up from the couch, went straight to the Obama/Biden sticker on the fridge, pointed at Biden's name and asked, "This guy?" Maybe Otis knows something we don't know. Only time will tell.
