Happy Election Day everyone! Hail to the good ole red, white and blue. Unfortunately, my bed time is at the exact time the first polls close. I was devastated to find out my parents are not extending my bedtime and I will have to wait until the morning to find out if my BFF, Barack Obama, defeated Senator McCain. I sure hope so. Maybe someone can call me. I will have my mom's cell phone under my pillow. Anyway, since I am denied the privilege and freedom to vote based on my age, otherwise known as ageism, I hope everyone else took the time and voted. It is important. It is my world too and I hope you were thinking about me when you cast your ballots. Moving on. The other hot topic of the week was my Halloween outfit. My hint was: What is black and white and black and white and black and white? The answer: A penguin falling down stairs! I did not fall down stairs but I was the happiest little penguin you ever did see.
March of the Penguins has nothing on me! I went to Ridgewood, New Jersey to trick or treat with my cousins, Joe (not pictured but he was a spider web), Molly (a nurse), Maeve (Dorothy) and Keira (the Cowardly Lion). I was not able to get tons of candy

mainly because I fell asleep around the 6th house. I did however, eat my first kit kat. You weren't lying! That is some good poo. I cannot wait until next year. I will not be so quick to fall asleep. The only other news this week is that we rode on our bicycles. Interesting. I have to wear a helmet (not cool) and sit in a seat (not horrible) and then we go racing through the streets of Brooklyn (really great!). I loved it. When we went to vote this morning we rode our bicycles. I am guessing we will be riding our bicycles a lot! Well, CNN is discussing the exit polls and battleground states. I better not miss this. I am the future after all. I better know what I am in for. Until next week... - Maggie
This week I: played with my cousin Keira, dressed up like a penguin, tried on my bicycle helmet and I ate my Auntie Shannon's chili which was delicious!
