from the mom
Ben has become an ardent supporter of John McCain in recent days. After hearing him say that "Obama stinks," his dad worked with him to encourage more civil speech. It paid off with him telling anyone he could that he liked "John McCain's policies." At sports class tonight, M worked especially hard to keep him away from a very large man wearing an Obama shirt for his own health and safety.
But I didn't really think it had sunk in much until I told him tonight that we were disappointed but Barack Obama had won and he would be our next President. "No, we want John McCain." He was brushing his teeth and I just stated that it was not to be.
Going to bed was rough. He wouldn't settle down. Finally M went in to talk to him and found him still brooding over election results. They talked for about ten minutes and nothing was working. M finally asked him if he would pray for Barack Obama with him. That seemed to help.
I guess he's a chip off the ole block. And part of the new Conservative Revolution. It starts now.
