I Guess He Does Pay Attention

Riley was having a conversation with one of his friends about Barack Obama. It was when we were at the eye doctor. There was a picture of Barack on the cover of a magazine that was in the waiting room. He said to his friend, "Do you know who he is?" She didn't know. He proceeded to say, "That's Barack Obama." She just looked at him with the expression "So". He then said, "That's the next president of the United States. He's the first black president ever." I guess he does pay attention to things other than video games and TV. He sure made his mom proud that day. Yesterday he sat with us as we watched the highlights from the day. I explained to him that we have witnessed history today. It was something that I never thought we would see in our life time.
