11/6/2012 2 Comments Farmer Small votes![]() Vote Yes on 1. It matters to this family. "Where are you going with that pencil, Farmer Small?" I asked. "I'm going to vote," he said. "I didn't know you were registered to vote." " I did it when I was trick or treating. The lady at town hall helped me." he said. "So why do you need the pencil?" "The lady at town hall said I could write in anyone I want if I didn't like the choices." "Who would you write in?" "Me," he said, " I'm not doing much this winter so I thought I'd hold office." I could see where that might appeal to him. The zumba classes hadn't worked out and other than tend to a few potted herbs, there wasn't a lot for him to do around the house. "Ok," I said. "Can you help me?" he asked. "With what?" "How do you spell Farmer Small?" he asked. "G-R-U-M-P-Y F-A-R-M-E-R." It took him a long time to work out the letters. I think I found a winter activity for Farmer Small.
