A lesson in democracy

I voted on Monday. I decided to do it early in order to avoid long lines. Reesi and Lyla went with me though. It was kind of funny to have them with me because of the things they were saying and the fact that the room was quiet and everyone could hear them. When we got there I started telling them what we were doing. I tried to explain things in very simplistic terms so they could hopefully understand. Here are a few lines from the 30 minutes that we were there.

Lyla: But where's the boat?
Me: Boat?
Lyla: Yea, where's the boat?
Me: Not boat, vote. I'm going to vote. Vote, with a "v". That means pick who I want to win.
Reesi: I hope my mom wins.
Lyla: No Reesi, I hope my mom wins.

After the voting was done and we were walking out.......

Reesi: Jenny, did you win?
Me: No, I picked someone else to win.
Reesi: I think my mom won. Lyla, I think my mom won!! (in her typical dramatic fashion)
Lyla: Can we do it again? Can I push the buttons this time?

I think there were a few more cute phrases from the two of them but I waited too long to write this down and now I've forgotten what else they said. Luckily, everyone in the room didn't seemed too annoyed by the girls. They just smiled and snickered.
