Voting for one

Today when I showed up at my voting place, a lady saw my enlarged middle and was like, "Voting for two, huh?" I smiled but didn't know what to say except "yes."

Then I went to the next table to collect my ballot, and the guy giving them out was like, "Here are two ballots for you."

I thought, Wow, same joke twice?

I said, "Oh, he's not old enough."

Ballot Man's face said, Who is this crazy lady and what is she talking about?

His mouth said, "What?"

I said, "Um. Never mind." And I blushed.

Turns out you get one ballot for constitutional amendments and one ballot for political offices. Two ballots.

So much for trying to function normally in the world!


Epilogue:

Then I came home and saw I had driven away from my house without bothering to close the garage door. Welcome, thieves and murderers!

Just out of curiosity where did you vote? Whitepine Elementary. That sounds like something my mom would say and she is working at that location.
Welcome to being a mom. You lose all memory. It only gets worst after you have your baby too.

Somebody was just mean to me on facebook and then I looked at google reader and read this and it made me feel better. I wish nice people did have two votes.

Hope the thieves and murderers missed their big chance.
