Okay, well, it was really on the way out. I had explained what we were doing to Chloe, and as I marked my ballot, she grabbed a pencil and begged to vote as well. I managed to grab the paper before she "helped", and told her we'd get a special paper for her to vote.
As we left the station, she started crying because she didn't get to vote.
"I want to vote!"
"Sorry kid, you'll have to wait at least fifteen years and three months."
"But I want to vote!"
"Well, let's just say that I voted for you."
"I want to vote again!"
"You can't. Each person can only vote once."
"But I didn't vote."
"I know, only grown-ups can vote."
"But I wanna..." (you can imagine how this continued)
I told her that I had her ballot at home, and she had two candidates from whom she could choose:
She told me that she wanted to vote for Bella, but I told her that it's supposed to be a secret, and she should think about it a bit longer. Plus, she should know that Ginger is the only who really rules the house, so it's a fixed election :p

Yay Chloe. She's such a little doll.
