And now for a lighter take on the election

Cast:
Me;
Neighbor's 8-year-old daughter (now known as N8YOD); and
Benevolent Dictator

Scene: Walking around with the stroller. Benevolent Dictator is chillin' and watching the sights.

N8YOD: So who are you going to vote for in this election?
Me: I was thinking about (Other Neighbor's 10-year-old Son). He's got a great platform -- no taxes and free coffee every morning.
N8YOD: YOU CAN'T VOTE FOR HIM!
Me: Why not?
N8YOD: He's 10 years old! You have to be 32 to be president!
Me: Technically it's 35.
Benevolent Dictator: *giggle*
N8YOD: (frazzled) OK. Let's try this again. Who are you voting for?
Me: I dunno. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert?
N8YOD: (bangs head against tree) YOU CAN'T VOTE FOR THEM?
Me: Why not?
N8YOD: They're actors!
Me: You can vote for them! Ronald Reagan was an actor! Arnold Schwarzenegger is an actor.
N8YOD: (bangs head against tree) AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!
Benevolent Dictator: *giggle*
