This morning my whole family left the house at 6:45 to go vote right when the polls opened. It was fun packing the kids a breakfast to go and standing in line as they opened the polls.
Coen and Lucy hung on my arms and followed me over to the booth, Coen looking between Tad and me as we penciled in the arrows and said loudly, "You guys are picking all the same things!"
We walked back out into the misty morning and Tad, who was walking a bit ahead of us, turned back to see Coen and Lucy both hanging on to my hands..
"So" he said, grinning at us, "You guys just want to stay close to the bleeding heart liberal, huh?"
We all laughed. Make no mistake, Tad's heart bleeds too, (though he doesn't always admit it) but we have a different mode, walking around the world. The other day we were talking about how much I worry about how people feel and what people think and we had this conversation:
Tad: That's why we're such a good match because I couldn't give less of a crap.
Me: Yeah! And I couldn't give more of a crap.
Tad: If you gave more of a crap, you'd have to be committed.
Happy Election Day people.
I think no matter how we vote, we all give a crap!
