BUS YOUR OWN TRAY

Mr. and Mrs. People were children of the 60s.  For years, they tried to get their daughter to take an interest in her community.  But the young Lizzy, so severly traumatized by the ridicule of her peers while growing up, rebelled against her parents at every turn.  “Fine,” she announced one evening during the usual icy dinner conversation.  “I’m going to vote this year.  I’m going to vote McCain."  Over the sound of her mother’s sobbing, Lizzy proceeded to give an empassioned defense of the 2008 Republican platform, with a ferocity never before witnessed by any member of her family.

So moved was her brother, Cuttlefish, that he wrote his sister in for Senator on his ballot, unintentionally sending the entire state of Minnesota into electoral hell, while simultaneously forcing Lizzy to relive the obloquy that defined her entire life.
