An interested 10-year-old
I was door-knocking last night when I met a retired couple and their granddaughter who was (I am guessing) about 10 years old. The granddaughter’s school class had recently toured the State Capitol and had been in the House Chamber. Her grand parents explained who I was and the position was running for.
A little later, after I had gone on to the next house, her grandmother brought her over to me and said she had some questions. She asked me if I sat at the desks with the buttons. I explained that I was trying to get a job sitting at one of those desks and that the desks each have a green button that says “Yea” to vote yes and a red button that says “Nay” to vote no and that the votes would then show on a big board so everybody can see them. I encouraged her participate in her government when she is old enough.
She then asked me where I would like to sit in all those seats. I explained that I would have to sit on the side they told me to sit, because of what party I am in; and that I would like to sit in front if I could.
She said she thought the seats in the back were the best. I think she’s right; the seats in the back would allow me to stretch my legs.
