26 Days to Election
Wake up. Slap on Sticker. Ready for basic, usual day. Drop off oldest. Take second child to preschool. Amazing thing happens. Mom who talks to Sticker-wearer asks if wear same sticker every day. No. Laugh. Tell mom pleased after Palin RNC speech. Ordered 50 stickers at www.johnmccain.com. Commitment. Wear one sticker every day until Election. Mom nod head. Smiles. Whoa! Actual interaction about Sticker!
Hold child hand. Walk hall to classroom. Sign in. Teacher ask about Sticker. Where get? Smile. Tell same answer. Other mom say want yard sign. Other teacher say yes! Need yard sign to balance neighbor! Another mother declare love Palin! Suddenly realize Sticker inspired five women to discuss election! Say yard signs free at GOP headquarters. Say someone need get bunch signs and bring to distribute. Nodding.
Mom who deliberate with no eye contact gone. Feel bad. Sticker-wearer still girl. Not want feelings hurt. Still. Maybe nothing about politics involved? Maybe no eye-contact because Sticker-wearer constantly have unshave legs? Clear possibility.
Home. Call city GOP headquarters. No free signs. $5. Not battleground state. Think need buy bulk signs on website. Maybe distribute. Maybe get reimbursed.
Rest of day pale. Oh! Did talk to Liberal friend. Liberal friend and Liberal friend DH not thinking BO help business. Concerned about business tax. Think area of DH company not safe from high tax. Already overhead cuts in form no over-time. Not good for family. Tell Liberal friend about commitment with Sticker. Nodding head.
Sigh. Big Sticker Day.
