Check out White Knuckle Parenting where I wrote about raising purple kids. Also, you should know that Alex and I won’t be speaking for the next several days regardless of who wins the election. It’s gone get ugly round here, people.

Get your quirk on.
Would if we could…fingers crossed for your guy. He’d be our guy too if we lived over there.
Loved your piece. From Red/Blue parents ourselves trying to keep the political discourse civil in our household!
I voted this morning! My family’s politics are split along generational lines, and I’m in the Democratic generation. So, great post. :)
The Algernon pic is funny. Did you help him with the touchscreen? While I don’t follow you on Facebook, I do read that feed over there >>
Yep. The touchscreen doesn’t recognize his little paws.
I voted. And I’ll be speaking to my husband. We’re tots blue around here.
I didn’t want to create a patch account because that’s one more thing I’m going to forget the pw to, but I wanted to ask at your column how Jack shapes Alex’s politics. (For serious.)
Less than you’d think. I know. I know.
I don’t know what I would do living in your house. We don’t even have family that is republican. In fact I think both our mothers voted for the green party in the last election and we have both living Grandmothers who are citizens “praying” for an Obama win today. There might even be rosaries involved- this stuff is getting serious. So you are a stronger person than me because I am not sure my marriage would live through this election if we were on different sides. Still- kudos for raising the kids to think for themselves! It can’t be easy.
Happy to say I voted in Virginia and then made calls for Obama.
I just left a reference to a short story I think you and your son will love on your home page. Let me know if you can’t find it. It’s science fiction about Asperger’s.
