When Trump pulled into the lead, Katie happened to get a fever. She was very disappointed, but because she had a fever, she soon cared more about lying down to sleep than the election.
This morning, I had a conversation with Katie.
Me: Do you remember hearing about Donald Trump last night?
Katie: Yes. Is he ahead?
Me: No. He won. He's our next president.
Katie: NO…WAY…JOSE!
Me: Do you have any questions?
Katie: Yes. Can Hillary Clinton work with Obamas and zap him away?
Me: No. He won. He'll be our president for at least four years.
Katie: That's good.
Me: Why do you say that?
Katie: Four days isn't very long.
Me: Four years, not days. That means you'll be at least ten years old before we have another president.
Katie: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Me: Are you okay? What should we do?
Katie: If he's going to be president, he needs to learn to be nice!
Me: Who should teach him?
Katie: His mom.
Me: I think his mom died.
Katie: She's dead? Well, I think my principal should teach him. (After a couple of minutes of thought…) We need to think of something nice about Donald Trump. I don't want to be mean like him, so we have to think of something nice.
Me: What do you think is nice about him?
Katie: Ummm…..silence.
Me: Can you think of something?
Katie: He can smile…I think. Let's think of something happy now.
Life goes on….
I got this puzzle out in the morning and put it together when I got home from school.
I really wanted to add Hillary Clinton to my puzzle!
I wasn't happy when Donald Trump pulled ahead.
In the morning, I was feeling a little bit lost over the whole thing.
After talking to my mom about the election, I just wanted to know if I could still write to Hillary Clinton even if she didn't win.
