O.k., so Nicostuff isn’t a political blog, but I had to share this story, and since it is Election Day, it seemed appropriate…
A few weeks ago Thade and I were watching Nickelodeon and we saw a commercial for Kids Pick the President. Thade immediately said that’s Barack Obama and that’s John McCain, I was surprised that he even knew who they were, I don’t usually discuss politics with my four year old. Thade also asked the difference between Red States and Blue States, hmmm so how am I going to explain this one…
Nico: Well Red States usually vote Republican, and Blue States usually vote Democrat.
Thade: Oh…
Nico: Barack Obama is a Democrat and John McCain is a Republican.
Thade: So Barack Obama likes Blue States and John McCain likes Red States.
Nico: Well, kinda, I think they both want to like all of the states.
Thade: Wait a second, Barack Obama is a Democrat and John McCain is a Republican right?
Nico: Yep, you got it.
Thade: So if John McCain is a republican, does that mean he is a Republic Star Wars Character?
Nico: Not quite…
Thade: Cause if he was a Star Wars character, that would be awesome!
Happy Election Day Everybody!
What a sweet story! Thanks for sharing 🙂 Ellie
Thanks Ellie! I love Thade’s view on politics, and Star Wars too 😉
What a hoot! Kids are the best and always know how to put things into prespective.
Come over and take a look at my Christmas list. Give me some ideas and get in on the drawing!
Blessings!!!
That would be awesome!
My son gave me a nice lecture on how I should vote because”who wants to pay more money for taxes, mom?”
Kids are just so funny!
oh how cute!! I took both boys today to the polls. i was so proud, wearing my “Mama’s for Obama” shirt and both boys in red and blue dress. I stuck an Obama sticker on back of Jake’s hoodie. Then I pulled them in the wagon down to the firehouse to vote and again down the street for storytime at the library!!! I hope to get our pic taken tonight in the wagon!
** Hope that wasn’t too political for you Nico! I really don’t care who people like as long as they VOTE!!
Thanks Marva! I agree, kiddos are too much fun, and so funny too 🙂 I’m on my way to check out your blog, you always have the best contests 🙂
Thanks Mimi! Your son rocks!!! I agree with him too, taxes are high enough already 😉 Hope you are having a great day 🙂
Thanks Heather! Great job getting out there and voting, I bet your kiddos looked super cute too 🙂 Big hugs 🙂
