Today our eldest daughter and I were in the grocery store checking out.  She was sitting in the cart and pointed to a magazine on the shelf.  “Look, Mom, it’s Obama and his lady.”

I looked at the magazine and sure enough, the president-elect and his “lady” were on the front cover.  She was very excited about it.  Then she found another magazine:  “Oh, Mom, it’s Obama and his girls.”  Yep, another one with the future first family on the cover.

She continued to talk about Obama and all his ladies until we were headed out the door.  I finally asked, “Do you know who Obama is?”  She replied, “He’s that man… that man that won the American game.”
