The Teen

Today Teendaughter and her pal voted for the first time. What an exciting election for your first. If things go our way, I do feel the country is expressing a strong desire to move away from the hateful policies of the last 8 years. I am feeling hopeful. Teendaughter will be 18 tomorrow. Actually, she'll be 18 at 1:06 am this very night. The memories of a long day come flooding back.

I remember voting for the first time...my fresh year in college...Bill Clinton. It was so exciting for me!

I voted for Bill in my first presidential election, as well. 1996. Happy birthday, Ros!!!

She keeps saying she's a grown up now. But I'm not sure she's right about that. Doesn't that happen at 21????

KC said...

i think maybe 21 is grown up... or later??

My first presidential election was the year Jimmy Carter gave his concession speech before I had even had a chance to get to the polls to vote for him out here in CA.

Not an exciting way to enter the process.

I remember that year! Of course I was shocked. I assumed he would win because I voted for him. It took me awhile to figure out how all this works.

mary, come out here this weekend. I want to see you. and bob too.
