The Presidental Election From The Eyes Of A 5 Year Old

So today while on the way to Walmart I hear Coy in the backseat yelling "GO OBAMA BOO JOHN MCAIN". I am very into this election as I'm sure most everyone is but I didn't think that Coy was into it also, I guess kids really do pick up on EVERYTHING!! Anyways this is how our conversation went:

Coy: go obama boo john mcain!

Me: Coy do you know what the election is about?

Coy: yes mom!

Me: what is is about then?

Coy: I think they are going to fight and who ever gets beat wins, like in wrestleing!

Me: Well Coy they are not going to fight with there hands, more with there words and that is not how the winner is picked. We are voteing for the person who we agree with

Coy: (interupting me) so they are not going to fight

Me: no Coy we are going to vote according to our beliefs like I like Obamas health care plan and I also like his plan for the economy

Coy: okay mom I thought they where going to fight.
(focusing his attention on the new election 08' donkey that we won out of the claw machine) go Obama boo john Mcain

I thought that he was soo funny you got to love the way kids view things!!
