So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation.
After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had written "checkmarks" (backwards) for all of the family members that he assumed would vote for him. There at the end, was one checkmark (going the correct direction) that Mr. James must have given him. Thank goodness he didn't give him money. No telling what the neighbors were thinking when a 5 year old interrupted their football party to ask for a vote!
I sternly told Carter he was never to go to the neighbors houses without our permission. He said, "But why were you laughing"? Um, because I really didn't think that my "shy" child would head off into the world campaining for President!!!!
