Brendan and I spent an hour in the car yesterday, and had plenty of time for one-on-one conversation. These days, that is so rare with three children in the house. Three children who all want their say!
No matter, we were discussing the election and I explained what a right and privilege it is to vote for our country's leaders. As soon as you're old enough to vote, I told him, you should.
His response: "Well, Mom, I may not be available because I am going to be an astronaut and I might be on the moon or Mars."
That sent us into a much-too-long discussion of absentee voting, though he was still convinced that a last-minute emergency on the moon might prevent him from voting.
