Today as we were pulling up the driveway, a clip of Barack Obama's speech from last night came on the radio. I turned and said to Sam, my five-and-a-half year old son, "Buddy, we did a great thing last night in electing Barack Obama. You're going to grow up in a United States where anyone can do anything, with no barriers--"
"--or vampires?" he interrupted?
"Um, right. No vampires."
"What would Barack Obama do if he saw a vampire? Would he kill it?"
"Um..."
Ah, to be five.
