I was waiting in line at the Oakland Mega-Whole Foods with my friend, JJ. In the line in front of us was a young blond mother, with her equally blond two year old who was making it very obvious that he didn’t want to remain seated in the shopping trolley child seat. As the mother struggled with the squirming toddler, JJ approached to see if he could be of assistance.
JJ: Hey buddy…what’s your name?
Mother: Do you have children?
JJ: Yeah.
Mother: He can be so stubborn at times…
Mother finally gets the kid to stay seated.
JJ: What’s your name?
Mother: Tell him your name, honey. What’s your name?
Kid: BARAK OBAMA!
Easily the best thing I’ve heard all week.
