Lesson 19: Nicole's Close Election
Nicole loses the election at school. She doesn't want to accept it, so she looks for excuses. Ted encourages her to accept defeat and
move on.
Nicole: I lost the election by a hair -- just 10 votes! But I'm not giving up.
Ted: Give me a break, Nicole. You lost. Live with it!
Nicole: But I was a sure thing! If I hadn't stayed up so late baking cookies, I wouldn't have messed up my speech.
Ted: Get real, Nicole.
Nicole: It's your fault, Ted. I lost because your friends didn't vote for me!
Ted: Don't try to put the blame on me! I gave it my best shot.
Nicole: They must've made a mistake while counting the votes. I'll demand a re-count on Monday and set the record straight.
Ted: Don't make a fool of yourself, Nicole. Face it, Andrea won the election fair and square!
Nicole: Well, I just don't know where I went wrong.
Susan: Here, take a chocolate chip cookie. That'll cheer you up for sure!
