Over the weekend we went to dinner with some friends. Their son is in Paige's 3 year old pre-school class. His mailman is African American and when Scott saw him he went up to him and said "Are you Barack Obama?" The mailman politely said he was not and Scotty's response was "oh yea, you don't have the same shoes." I thought this was such a funny story and even more impressed that one of Paige's peers new who the President was.
Did this make us bad parents that we didn't educate our child on national news and politics - she's only three? So out of curiosity Andrew asked her, "Paige do you know who our President is?" And without hesitation she said, "Barack Obama." We were so impressed that she knew who he was. Our next question was "where did you learn that?" Her response - school. A few seconds passed and she said, "You know what Daddy - Barack Obama that sounds just like Taco Cabana." For those of you that aren't from San Antonio, Taco Cabana is a fast food mexican restaurant and she has always pronounced it "Cobana". You can imagine the laughter in our house that night. I'm sure our 44th President wouldn't like to sound like Taco C!
This pic has nothing to do with the story - but was so cute I had to post!
