First of all- I don't have a political bone in my body. Don't get me wrong- I have strong political beliefs, I try to educate myself on the issues, I vote, and I like my kids to know where I stand while developing their own opinions. I just don't spend a lot of time thinking or talking about it. I have great respect for those who do... the world needs them. However, this year Pyper turned into the little republican that could. She is ambitious, and slightly obsessive. She even stayed after school 4 days last week working on a speech she made over the loud speaker about John McCain, helping organizing a mock election for the 3rd and 4th graders, and counting the votes.
Today she roped her sister into her cause. We are apparently the Republican head quarters of Shaker Heights. Pyper and her "staff" have been working feverishly on campaign signs- reminding people to vote for McCain.
They have spent the entire morning stapling signs to trees on our street, and trying to give people passing by a flyer.
They are a little upset because no one is walking by.
Most of the lawn on our street have Obabma signs. Pyper said those are the trees that need their signs the most. She's pretty brave for such a shy kid.
A high five after each successful posting. They make me laugh.
