Mouse Mom Democracy

Papa Fung wrote me and my brother an email with the subject heading: "Mom has guts": 



Mom and I happened to pick up the phone at the same time.

Campaigner: " We're Republican.......Can I talk to C----, please?"
Mom, "I'm C----."
Campaigner: "The economy is so bad .......Romney.....Would you care to help out?"
Mom: "I'm voting for Obama!!"
Campaigner: "I'm sorry to hear that. Have a nice evening!"

I rushed into the room and gave her a thumbs up! The first time I saw her so forceful to say no. You know what she said? 

"Do I dare to vote for Romney? Last time the kids scolded me for voting Bush." I call this mouse mom democracy. 

So I guess the thumbs up belongs to you guys. Anyway, you should congratulate her next time you talk.
