I was walking my daughter home from school today, and she asked me if there would be school tomorrow. Her teacher had told her about how she was going to vote for President tomorrow.

I reassured her that yes, school would continue as usual, since voting only takes a little time. I added that I would be voting while she was at school.

“Mommy, I don’t want you to vote,” was her reply.

“Why not?”

She looked away. “I don’t want you to pick me as President.”

My daughter was watching Schoolhouse Rock today, one of the episodes about being President, and she announced that she wanted to be President one day.

“That’s a good goal. You’ll have to work really hard then,” I warned her. This pretty much took care of her interest.

“I changed my mind,” she said. “If I was President I wouldn’t get to see my kids except at night. I just want to be a pretty Mommy at home with my kids.”
