When I was in kindergarten I was terrified of all things Halloween related, thanks to a book called "The House that Drac Built." When the 2000 election between Bush and Gore rolled around, we kindergartners got to vote. As I was scared of "Gore" (meaning blood and guts, as used in that book), I voted for Bush! A couple years later, when my classmates were saying he was a bad president, I was so ashamed because I thought my vote had actually counted and I'd helped elect a bad president. :(
