A kid’s guide to elections. (PEH)

Recently read a detailed list of slick on-line techniques which might explain why a hard third of the population has been persuaded to support Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Sorry. No empathy for ignorant adults. Even pre-schoolers have an inherent sense of fairness. Cupcakes or cookies? Show of hands. Cookies (cupcakes) it is! *…

* Everybody gets to vote.

* If they can write you can’t hide the ballot box, or stick a “vote here” sign on the trashcan or put it on the top shelf.

* Can’t vote when half the class is at recess or taking a potty break. Nap time is out too.

* Can’t put the ballot box in the boy’s (or girl’s) room.

* Count all the votes.


Kids know other useful things:


*Making fun of other kids isn’t nice.

* Bullies never make you do the right thing.

* If you get caught fibbing today, don’t expect kids to believe you tomorrow.

* If it smells like poop, it probably is.
