A Mommy Story

It’s OK to be nervous if it’s your first time.

If you’re not sure how to do it, there are guides you can read.

You can tell everyone all about doing it, or you can keep it to yourself.

You can do it at night, or you can do it during the day if you don’t have to work.

You could do it at work, too, as long as no one catches you.

You can do it in private or out in public, although people might stare.

You can do it with your clothes off or you can do it with your clothes on.

You might choose to sit your older kids down and explain what it is and why adults do it.

If you’re rushed you can make it a quickie, or you can take it slow and savor each moment.

If you’re not in the mood, you can try again tomorrow.

If the kids are home, you can put on a video for them while you sneak away to do it.

You can invite your friends over to do it together as a group, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Other people may try to tell you the right way to do it, but only you know what works for you.

After you finish, you can have a glass of wine and bask in the glow of what you just did.

What about you?

Yeah, you.

Have you done it?

I’ll confess: I just did it, and it felt great.

Wait, what did you think I was talking about?

Ohio’s early voting is currently in progress. You can vote by absentee ballot, or go to any country election office to vote in person. In Franklin County, you can do it in the evening and even on Saturday and Sunday.

Does your state have early voting? Have you voted yet?
