To Boat and not to Vote

Brad and I bundled up all three of our babies and headed to the polls last night. We told ourselves we would be showing them such a good example by taking them and it would just be a quick in and out, right? Nooooo. While we waited in the first of two large lines, two-year-old Katie looked up at me and asked, "What are we doing?" "We have to wait in line to vote," I told her, and she seemed satisfied with that answer. Finally, I decided we weren't THAT patriotic. I told Katie we were leaving and to my surprise she offered resistance. She stamped her foot and said, "No! I want to boat!"
