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.
