Presidential Circumstances

I thought I would share this little story about the younger of the Freeman brood. We had just dropped Aedyn and Evan off at piano lessons so it was myself, Grant, and Laura in the car. They were chatting back and forth about President's Day. Grant informed us that George Washington was the first President of the United States. Laura emphatically said "No...Rock A Bama (translation: Barack Obama) was our first President. Seeing the learning opportunity, I told Laura that Barack was our first black President. I don't know why I say black as opposed to African American. I'm honestly not sure of the right terminology. I grew up saying black. In any event, Grant said "That's right, and George Washington was our first peach President". How funny the perceptions of a 5 year old. He had a sack puppet with the face of George on it and he had used a peach crayon to color it. So if I was going to color categorize Barack, he would do the same for George. I laughed to myself and confirmed his observations and resolved to document this funny little thought from his 5 year old brain.
