Today 1.3 million adults in Western Australia will vote YES or NO to daylight saving between the end of October and the end of March each year.I took R (who is six) and N (who is approaching four) with me to cast my vote - a good chance for them to see what the election process looks like when the ballot paper isn't too difficult to complete - ie. I could vote and supervise at the same time! On the way we discussed the issue.
M: So R, what do you think of daylight saving? Should I vote yes or no?
R: Vote no. I don't like it.
M: Why?
R: Because it is boring.
OK...moving onto the next boy...
M: So N, what do YOU think of daylight saving?
N: (with joy) I love light sabers Mummy.
Don't think we have fully grasped the issues in our household!

R was right! *sigh* I voted the other way though.....
All happy faces around here!! Although N would be distraught if he thought light sabers had been voted out. Luckily that wasn't the purpose of the referendum!!
