INAUGURATION, PART TWO


     Tuesday night at the dinner table, we are talking about the inauguration. Wanting to make sure that the boys understand the huge significance of this day, I remind them, probably for the 475th time, that Barack Obama is the first African American president. K., used to a mother that repeats herself, just kind of blows me off.  Z., however, pauses for a second, "Do you think we will ever have another black president?" he asks.
