Dash comments this week:

On Monday after getting in the van after school, the very first thing he says to me is:

"Mom, I'm sorry, I lied."
"what did you lie about?"
"mom, I'm really sorry, I lied."

Well after a few more rounds of that I learned that he had packed himself mini-oreo bites for his afternoon snack at school instead of the pop tart he told me he had packed.


Monday evening after filling out Dash's voter registration card for school and their mock vote, I asked him who he was voting for.
"Mitt Romney. We want Romney, right mom?"
"Why do you want Romney."
"oh, wait, no, I want the other President guy. I saw on a tv commercial that said, 'you don't want the other guy, he will take all your money.' So I am not going to vote for Romney, I am going to vote for the other guy."


I just let it go. I was not about to get into a debate as to why simply basing your vote on one tv commercial was the way to go!


So today after school I asked how his voting went. And like any curious parent, I asked who he voted for.
"I voted for Mitt Romney and for the other President I voted for Mrs. Piggle Wiggle.Not for SpongeBob."
"I thought you said you were going to vote for Obama. Why did you vote for Romney?"
"I don't know, I just did. That is who I wanted to vote for.  and Mrs. Piggle Wiggle she follows RRS (respectful, responsible, and safe), but Spongbob doesn't so that is why I voted for her and not him."
