Election Night!

Wow, this election thing seems pretty big. It's all Mom & Dad (and Grandma, and anyone else I run into on the street) have been talking about for the last couple days.

Election night is finally here, and it looks like I'm going to get to stay up late! This is so cool. Plus, I get to watch "Dinestines" [Ed: Little Einsteins] on my travel DVD player while Mom and Dad are monopolizing the big TV. Actually, that looks like the Backyardigans - one of my other discs. They're really fun too!


I got to drink all the juice I wanted, because Mom and Dad were drinking "Mommy and Daddy Juice" for the evening too. I tried their juice a little bit, but I didn't like it as much. Dad was playing on the laptop with something called Facebook all night, and every now and then he'd laugh really hard at something and Mom and I would look at him and wonder what was wrong with him now? He's always laughing at funny times when no one else is. Happy guy, I guess?


Anyway, later on, they got all excited because a guy named Obama won. I can see why - that's a really fun name to say! o-BAAAAA-ma! Obama obama obama obama. Actually, if you really want to hear somebody say that name funny, you should hear our Governator Ahhnold say this guys name. I can't do an Austrian accent very well yet, but you can probably imagine him saying "Senatuh O-BAW-muh". Though I kinda think that Ahnold doesn't like him very much for some reason. Not sure why - he seems like a nice enough guy!

However you say his name, it seemed like quite the big deal. There were people on TV crying and stuff. Grownups even! The only time I've seen that before was that one time when I ran full speed into Dad and headbutted him right in the [Ed: Okay, that's enough out of you. Stick to the topic please!]

Sheesh. Dad's grumpy this morning. It was a big night. Mom and Dad tried to explain that sometimes people cry when they're happy, but I'm not really sure how that works. I only cry when something hurts or if I'm not getting my way. When I'm happy? Not sure why I'd cry then.

Maybe I'll understand when I'm older.
