Chocolate Milk

Today I stood in line for 2 1/2 hours to vote early. It's great to have the option to do that. Can you imagine what the polls would have been like next Tuesday if we didn't have early voting? I can't imagine what they're going to be like anyway, even with the early voting! Most people were very patient and cordial and left each other in peace to listen to music and read while we waited. But a few people around me grumbled incessantly about how ridiculous it was that we had to wait so long and that the Coke machine only had Vault left. Some folks are just impossible to please.

When I was in kindergarten, we had to write a short book. We decorated the plain white cover and each page was a different story that we'd illustrate. I don't remember most of the book, but the one page that is still clear as a bell to me is the "If I were President" page. And you know what I said I'd do? I'd drink all the chocolate milk I wanted. And everyone else could, too. Oh, if only the Presidency were that simple.

I wonder how chocolate milk goes with Frosted Mini Wheats?
