History
I sat the kids down on Wednesday and explained about the election result. Lauren had apparently covered it some at school, including a mention of slavery and racism. I went over some of it again, and explained that for many people this was a truly great day. I’m not sure it will have made much of an impact, but maybe something will stick so when they’re old they’ll be able to say “I was there” (or the modern equivalent, “I watched it on TV”).
