I had heard that Ron Paul was coming to the College of Idaho, so I made a note of it thinking it would be cool to attend. A couple days after Trey broke his leg I thought that it would be really cool if I took the kids and somehow got Ron Paul to sign Trey's cast. So, Friday rolls around and I am preparing all day. Trey helped me make a sign, and I printed out a map of the college so we would know where to go. We get to the college and thanks to our handicap sign we get front row parking. The auditorium was packed, so Trey, Nix, and I get to the very back row sit down and enjoy the speech. The kids did so well. They really got in the groove of clapping and cheering by the end. It was hilarious. I am not a political fanatic or anything, so I was a little out of my element. But hey I guess it's good to expose your kids to stuff right. There are like 5 minutes left of his talk (which I didn't know) and Trey is yelling I gotta go pee! Great all the exits are blocked by the crowd. I found a side exit open. I drag the kids out this side door and it is the exact spot I want to be. Minutes later Ron Paul and his head dude walk right by us. They are going to the area out front designated for autographs, picts, etc. I grab our stroller, which is in the car also right next to us and we plow through the masses. I have Trey holding his sign on my shoulders and am pushing Nix in the umbrella stroller. We get to the chaos and win over some kind peoples hearts with our signs and they let us go ahead of them in the line. And that's when it happens. Ron Paul signs Trey's cast. I did it. I had been so excited for days about the possibility of it and it worked. I know I am freaking crazy and who gives a crap about Ron Paul. But holy freaking cool. My kid is awesome. Everyone is gonna want to sign his cast now. Oh and Trey never went pee. He made it all the way home.
