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!
