Election results are in ...


Kylee was elected to the student council. After a month of Kylee asking me if she could turn in the permission form to be in her elementary school student council election, Matt convinced me to let her try if she wants to. There was a preliminary election with 6 children from her class. The top 3 wrote a short speech to give in front of their class. Then, on election day they voted again. Kylee didn't make any false promises unlike the kids running in Brayden's kindergarten class. That night when we were celebrating with root beer floats Brayden was telling us who he wanted to win in his class.
Brayden "I hope James gets elected because he is going to build a pool by the slide."
Kristel "Who else was running?"
Brayden "Luke and Trudy"
Kristel "Why didn't you vote for them?"
Brayden "Luke said he was going to build swings, but I can't go back and forth." (translation - he doesn't know how to swing)
A few days later when Brayden found out James won he was so excited. Who is going to let him know that James is probably not going to be able to deliver on the pool?
