H and I voted early a couple days ago. Our 23yo son was with us. When we were checking in, the volunteers asked our son if he was voting for the first time. Confused by the question, (thinking "First time in this election? First time at this venue??) he mumbled, “Yes.” (TBH, the first thing that crossed my mind was that they thought he’d already voted.)
Then came the announcement to the roomful of volunteers/waiting voters: “Hey everybody, this is “Joe,” and he’s voting for the first time today!” --followed by a round of applause. (S looks very young for his age, has voted in other elections). Good for a laugh on the way home.
