"Are you voting, Mr. B? We voted last week at school!"
"You voted already? Downtown or at the rec center?"
"In the mail? You can do that?"
"Who'd you vote for, Mr. B?"
"Obama?" (They hope.) "McCain?" (They dread.)
"Why can't you tell us?"
"Some people think voting should be private."
"Miss Jenkins says it's rude to ask."
"It's like asking a lady how old she is."
"Who'd you vote for, Mr. B?"
"Obama?"
I nod and wink and grin.
"Yes!" They grin, too."
