Obama Drama, Part 11
Our family likes to rib each other a lot, and it can sound mean to an outsider, but it’s all said in jest.
My best friend’s dad is the classic high-expectations type, so my best friend is a very high achiever at school, to the point where it’s actually ridiculous.
Dad: “Why can’t you be like [Best Friend]? He’s younger than you and already got into Stanford. I am so ashamed of you sometimes.”
Me: “Why can’t you be like Obama? He’s younger than you and was already president! I am so ashamed of you sometimes.”
Mom starts cough-laughing (I know it’s a cliché, but she was genuinely drinking some water when I said that).
Mom: “He’s got you there, hun!”
