I should not have been surprised when Sam came home on election day and announced that his class had a mock election. We don't discuss politics around the kids....ever! I kinda want them to stay young and innocent and unconcerned about political issues for as long as possible. So, with that being said---
Sam declares on the way home that he voted for Mitt Romney.
Me: "really, why?"
Sam: "b/c I didn't know who to vote for and his name was in red. Red is my favorite color."
Me: "oh, well, cool. Sam, did you know that Mitt Romney is a mormon?"
Sam: "What's a mormon?"
Me: "Do you know the name of the church we go to?"
Sam: "Church"
Me: "It's the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Mitt Romney also goes to that church."
Sam: "Mitt Romney goes to our church?"
Me: "Well, he goes to a church just like ours but not the same building."
Sam: "Mom, can you write a note to my teacher and tell her that we know Mitt Romney and he goes to our church!"
Well, at least now he knows what a Mormon is!
