Remember that time at the mall? We walked over to the customer service counter. You were holding an OP shirt, my birthday gift / token of middle school brand awareness. There were two people in front of us. You said:
"I think I should be first in line."
The cashier's blank stare. The jaw-dropping silence of the two African-American women waiting in line in front of us.
Grandmother, it's my please to introduce President-elect, Barack Obama.
Remember the Eagles game? They were playing the Giants. You would always sit in the same spot. You'd shout at the screen, something about monkeys. But we were watching football.
Grandfather, it's my honor to introduce you to President-elect, Barack Obama.
