My grandpa suffers from Alzeihmer's disease, and my dear mother, in light of this fact and the upcoming elections, decided to take advantage of this. As a bit of a background I should probably mention that my grandma is extremely conservative and as such is not a fan of Obama...at all. If she were to have her way with things there would be less black people on t.v. in general, much less a black president. My mother on the other hand, is a democrat and is behind Mr. Barack 100%. As you can imagine, the two often butt heads politically. My grandfather in his ailing mental state probably doesn't give a damn about politics either way. This does not however mean, that he is impervious to influence with a little bribery.
So my mother, in her fervor and excitement for Obama, took my grandfather on a drive to the local eatery in Parowan and bought him a shake. She then proceeded to drive him around the block and question him,"So who are you voting for Dad?" she began.
"Well, I don't know." he replied.
"What do think about Obama, Dad?"
"Who's that?"
"Well Dad..." and thus through repetition and a few loops around the block my grandfather was educated on Obama. At the end of this my mother questioned again, "Who are you voting for Dad?"
"Well, Obama I guess." Mission complete.
My grandfather was lovingly brainwashed by my mother and my grandma was in for a rather nasty surprise.
