The future is now

The election is not over in the Russell house.  Jonathan (13y) and Isaac (7y) are each running for President of the Russell Kids.  They have spent the better part of the morning making flyers on the computer (complete w/ pictures and slogans), picking running mates, and making platform speeches.  Their platforms in a nutshell are as follows.

Jay:  More food, less chores!

Ike:  Transformers 24/7!

Abby is complaining that there is no one for which she can vote.  She "doesnt like either one."   I hear ya, babe.

I'd say "may the best man win."  But, around here its more like:  "may the loser not fuss too terribly long."

This counts as creative writing, theatre (oh, there's been some drama!), concept development,  ethics (loosely speaking), government (though, they are both getting dangerously close to "bigger is better"), and cooperation (mostly).  School is over, right Mother?!
