I keep asking children who they would vote for – thinking they must realize they’ll be living with the results for the rest of their lives.  But they know they don’t have the power to change anything and all they can really do is go with the flow, play a game, do a dance, and not think about what will happen.

We old people, on the other hand, are terrified.  We get phone messages all day from different parties, asking for our vote.  One of them really got to me.  “I’ll bet you are as scared as I am,”  it began.

In my case, it’s hard to decide whether to strengthen Lapid’s party or make sure that the other small parties get through.  When I told the kids at lunch they said, “Who will know whether you made a difference?”
