From The Onion:

OMAHA, NE—In spite of a vocal Democratic following among the 16-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter demographics, Republicans managed to retain a slim majority in the Sanderson family, front-door exit polls revealed Monday. “Fortunately, strong Republican support among 48-year-old fathers and 46-year-old mothers won over the key swing vote among 6-year-olds named Timmy,” speaker of the household Donald Sanderson said. “This, combined with the traditional Republican stronghold among visiting, over-60 grandparents, allowed Republicans to maintain control.” The GOP has held the majority in the Sandersons’ last 37 Sunday dinners.
