M: Mama, that's Barack!
Me: Yes baby. Today's the day. He's finally our president.
M: Why are you crying?
Me: Because today is a great day. Today is the first time a man who isn't white is President.
M: All the other Presidents were white?
Me: Yep
M: Well that's just silly.
Me: Yes baby. It is. And that's why I'm crying. Because it's been so silly for so long and now anything is possible. It's possible because of him and because of everyone who has come before.
M: Like maybe I can be President one day.
Me: Yes baby. Yes you can.

What a moment. Hell yeah!
right on little M.
Yes.
yes.
i love it!
tonight i felt the energy from one side of the country to the other as i woke up in seattle and rejoiced and landed in NYC to a resounding YES oh yes today is the day a new path unfolds.
My kids told me yesterday they wanted Barack to come over for dinner.
And you know...for a second, it seemed possible.
What a day for hope. Now children everywhere believe that it is possible and you CAN do anything regardless of the color of your skin. I'm very proud of our country.
U-huh.
Pretty sure my heart just exploded.
Someone on Twitter posted a video that takes all 44 Presidents and has their faces morph one into another. After I watched it I wanted to reply to her, "Holy shit! I never realized until now that THEY'RE ALL MEN!" I didn't b/c sarcasm is so often lost on Twitter.
Someday, M. Someday.
And now look at you fleeing the building just when the movie's getting good...
I'm voting for her!
Amen!
