Barack Obama

While walking with a group of second graders to lunch today, I overheard them talking "politics." As they passed the election display in the hall, one of them started talking about how cool "my Uncle Bomma" is. A bunch of others repeated how much they liked "my Uncle Bomma," too.
As I walked along thinking WTF?, it occurred to me that in the 7-year-old brain, the sounds of the name Barack Obama have translated to "my Uncle Bomma."
