Flip-Worthy Moments: If Kids Could Vote

Join me on celebrating Election Day on Facebook!

In this month's issue of Growing Pains - bet you didn't know that I have a monthly column at the Imperfect Parent, huh? - I'm proudly acknowledging the fact that my parents are taking a ginormous leap of faith, by voting in their first presidential election, for the first time, in over 50 years!

But, if even that doesn't move you to go and vote (seriously, my father swore he never would) my kids are more than willing to share a few reasons why they think, you know, you should.

Thing One is turning 15, this month and believes ALL adults should go out and vote, because...

Any questions?

Agent M came with us, as she always has, for the whole voting process and post-vote, celebratory pizza. She thinks everyone should vote and she really enjoyed your videos.

Great videos and smart kiddos too.

I voted early this morning and didn't even have to wait in line!

Hi Elizabeth,

I really enjoy your blog. I watched an author named Christopher Flett on the Today Show, he wrote a book called "What Men Don't Tell Women About Business" and it shares secrets for women working in business. I thought you might enjoy hearing about him. There could be some great content in their for future posts.

Keep up the great work.

Sincerely,

Bihter
