A House Divided


First it was the Packers-Vikings rift between husband and wife. Earlier this fall it was the rift between father and son as Little Man decided that his new favorite team was the squad that employed his favorite quarterback – Brett Favre and the Jets. Well we have a new one. Apparently the classes at Sheridan Hills had a presidential election at their school Tuesday and while Ella went the way of Obama, Nicolas went with John McCain. I don’t believe any of the “issues” that the general voting population focused on were in play at Sheridan Hills. According to Nicolas the information was more centered upon the candidates’ place of birth and their favorite foods. Nicolas was swayed by McCain’s interest in apples and baseball, while Ella was sold on Obama’s commitment to tomatoes. Considering the myriad non-issues that voting adults in our country seem consumed by, I guess the considerations of a 7- and 5-year-old don’t seem too ridiculous.
