Me & the Prez

Let me preface this story by stating the obvious. I’m conservative. That being said, I’m sure you can guess where my political lines fall… My children, however, have taken a liking to the current president. I think it’s because his name sounds cool. Oh, and Andy says, “his skin is a cool color.” ;) I guess he’s got many cool things going for him in the six-and-under age block.

Nate and I were recently having a conversation and I mentioned San Diego. Three-year-old Connor chimed in:

Connor: “She’s my friend!”

Me, confused: “Who’s your friend?”

Connor: “Sandy Eggo.”

Me, trying not to laugh at him: “What’s her name?”

Connor, over enunciating: “Sandy… Eggo. I like her.”

Me: “Oh, I see!”

Connor, sweetly: “You know who else is my friend?”

Me: “Who?”

Connor: “You and Barack Obama!”

    Christa,
    There must be something about our President’s name that kids just love. Our two and a half year old grandson, Austin, seems to get excited every time he sees Obama on TV or in the newspaper.
    He points and yells, “Hey, there’s Brocka Bama”. It does have a kind of tempo to it.
