Who Are You Voting For

Who are you voting for? What do you mean? In the next election? Which one? The presidential election. I don’t know. You are not voting for her are you? I don’t know. Tell me you are not voting for her. I am secretly thrilled there is a her. I feel the men have done more than enough, so I always vote for a her if I can. Ambidextrous names on a ballet annoy me; there should be an M or an F next to it. I can see this would not bode well for me to share so I do not. The other person in the room is laughing now, realizing I am not sharing. My interrogator turns towards the only him in the room, my husband. Who are you voting for? I do not have to tell you he says bravely. Yes you do. No I don’t. But she keeps it up, And so he folds. Which is why No one tells Him a Secret.

"Which is why/ No one tells/ Him a/ Secret" hahahaha! ;D These who-are-you-voting-for people are so annoying. If I tell them anything, I just say that I am an Independent and will vote for the least of the evils of each party. ;P

I cannot BELIEVE their bold audacity. Why do they think we have a SECRET ballot?
