as shrek and i watched the election results last tuesday, i shared one of my past presidential election memories with him -- how when i was in eighth grade my classmates and i had the option to return to school later that evening to watch the election results roll in as we colored each state red or blue depending on which way it voted. i finished my story with, "yeah, i think it was '98 and clinton won."
an odd look crossed over shrek's face and he said, "'98?! i graduated from high school in '97. i was in college and you were coloring in eighth grade?!"
haha
well, it turns out that my memory was a little off: i was actually in seventh grade and it was '96, so shrek was still in h.s. -- even though he could still vote. phew! doesn't sound half as bad for reason :P
