What does VOTE mean?

I had to post this story from Camille! 

 

The funniest story was told to me today by Ms. Olson- Sadie's kindergarten teacher.  Sadie's class went to the school library, and the librarian was explaining this program called California Young Reader Medal.  Here's a blurb:

"The California Young Reader Medal program encourages recreational reading of popular literature among the young people of our state. Since its inception in 1974, millions of California children have nominated, read, and voted for the winners of the California Young Reader Medal.

Mrs. Wolf, the librarian, was explaining that the children could decide on their favorite book, and vote.  She asked Sadie's class, "What does vote mean?"  Sadie's hand shot up, and she was called on.  Sadie explained what vote means. She said, "It's when you decided if marriage should be between a man and a woman, or between two men or two women."

 

I can't help but laugh everytime I think of it!  On the day of elections, I casually asked Ms. Olson how she felt about Prop 8.  Surprisingly, she was against it. She said she thought that if two people really love each other, they should be able to be married. .. . We had a good discussion, and I shared our view point on the issue.  And I'm glad I did, looking back.  So perhaps Ms. Olson wasn't entirely suprised by Sadie's words, since she already knew how our family felt about the issue.  Ms. Olson and I laughed and laughed today over that.  I asked how the librarian responded.  She just called on the next child.
