Jonathan’s school was campaigning for office last week.  I had come to his school to take pictures while the kids gave their speeches.  At breakfast the next morning, I asked Jonathan whom he was going to vote for.  He of course said, “I don’t know.”  Marissa turned and said, “Maybe you’ll win, Jonathan.”  I explained that Jonathan was not running this year…only 4th, 5th, and 6th graders could run.  “Perhaps he’ll run next year if he wants to, though.”  She nodded and turned to Jonathan.  “I’ll bet you’ll win too…”  As a mother I thought, well what a nice thing to say.  Then she finished her sentence with, “…cause you’re a REALLY fast runner.”  Hmmmm…a little different meaning to the word “run.”
