CONVERSATION BEFORE I WENT OUT TO THE STORE:
RegularDad: Here ya go. It looks like something official.
Me, opening the envelope: Ooooh, goody. It’s my voter registration card.
RegularDad, who just discovered two days earlier that he is not registered to vote: Yeah. Goody.
Me: Sorry, hon.
RegularDad: What do you care? We’d just cancel each other out anyway.
Me: Not this year. You said you weren’t voting for McCain.
RegularDad: Yeah, but that doesn’t mean I was gonna vote for Obama, you know.
Me: Really? You weren’t?
RegularDad: Nope. Don’t like him either. I was gonna vote for anyone else.
Me: Oh.
RegularDad: You shouldn’t vote. That way it’ll be like we cancelled each other out, like usual.
Me: Nice try.
CONVERSATION AFTER I GOT BACK FROM THE STORE:
Me, glancing at the table where I thought I left my voter registration card, and seeing only the empty envelope: Hey, where’s my voter registration card?
RegularDad: Whaddaya mean? You lost it already?
Me, looking pointedly at him: You know, hon, I don’t NEED to show them that card when I go vote. You do know that, don’t you?
RegularDad: You don’t?
Me: Nope.
RegularDad: Oh, well, in that case, your card’s in the kitchen. You left it on top of the crock pot.
HA! HA! Ian and I cancel each other out as well. I still do my part. There is a SLIGHT chance Ian will end up changing some aspects of his job early next year. IF (a BIG HUGE IF) that happens he will no longer vote. Then I WIN!!
I think I have finally pulled my husband over to my side. I really think we won’t cancel each other out. I managed to get my mom to vote for Obama too (absentee). That was tough. She’s a republican through and through.
June, I bow down before your greatness. Seriously. How’d you do it?
Nothing is funnier than a man who thinks he has a plan, LOL. Don’t they know that we only allow them to think they think for themselves.
Cue the Dracula laugh here!
Happy Voting!
This was funny!
