Yesterday was an amazing and historic day. Even at my son’s preschool, they watched the inauguration on TV. When I picked him up, we had a conversation that went a little something like this:
Me: “What did you think of the inauguration?”
Evan: “I saw Barack Obama!”
Me: “What was he doing?”
Evan: “He was talking!”
Me: “What did he do when he finished talking?”
Evan: “He got in the car and drove across town. Mommy, did you know that Barack Obama lives in a white house?”
Me: “Yes.”
Evan: “We live in a white house too!”
Me: “Yes, we do. But Barack Obama’s house is special because that is where the President of the United States lives.”
Evan: “Our white house is special too.”
Me: “Um… yes it is.” (I can’t really argue with that one.)
I hope he remembers this day… I know I will.
