Obama-Drama! The Epic Saga
My grown siblings and I are visiting home, talking to our parents over dinner. I can’t remember how the conversation got started, but we were talking about September 11 and how the world scene has changed since then.
Mom: “It’s all Obama’s fault! Everything bad that’s happened in America recently happened because of him!”
Me: “Mom, pretty sure Bush was president when that happened.”
Mom: “September 2011! Obama!”
Me: “Oh my god, Mom! September 11, two-thousand-and-one! Two-zero-zero-one!”
Brother: “Mom, you came to pick us up from school that day because we were let out early. You think we were still in elementary in 2011?”
Mom: “Well… maybe I mixed up a couple of numbers, but Obama is still to blame for so many bad things since then!”
Sister: “Oh, I know! Like, World War Two? Obama.”
Brother: “In fact, both World Wars were his fault, right?”
Mom: “Oh, whatever!”
Me: “Remember when he caused the plague in Europe back in the medieval times?”
Brother: “Or he let the Romans invade, like, everywhere. Lousy defense on his part.”
Mom: “Stop it!”
Sister: “Pretty sure he was responsible for the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs—”
Mom: “—Shut up!”
She tried to get Dad to defend her, but he was too busy giggling into his bowl of Jello.
