8 year old report of the inauguration
Yesterday Barack Obama became President of the United States of America. Also yesterday, George W. Bush left. There was a ton of people in the mall, which was not actually a mall; it was a great, long thing of grass. They showed the Presidents that are still alive, and they showed George W. Bush’s daddy. It showed the Vice President who pulled a muscle in his back who was in a wheelchair. We saw the people cheer because they were happy for Barack Obama that he was President.
Barack Obama repeated what a guy said with his hand in the air. He put his other hand on the Lincoln Bible which was very, very old. After he said the oath, they walked to the other side of the Capitol, and they stood there for a very long time being cold while people took pictures. Then George W. Bush and his wife left on a helicopter. And I think they are going to go to Dallas.

When I grow up ...
These are all a year or two old. I wonder how he'd answer the question today?
"When I grow up, I am not going to get married so I can stay a free man."
Can't you be married and be a free man?
"Well, not that much."
"When I grow up, I am going to be a man that lives in hole. But I will not steal to live in the hole. First I will have a job."
"When I grow up I am going to be a scientist, a superhero and have a safety school. I will do superhero stuff at night, have the safety school in the daytime and do science 'speriments' in the evening."
When will you sleep?
"Maybe I will need a schedule."
(I can't describe how thankful we are to still have someone who thinks being a superhero is a legitimate career option :-)

Tinfoil hat
"Why do you have a tinfoil hat on? To keep your head warm?"
"No, actually it makes the sun reflect off and cools you off. A satellite may be able to get to my brain from the tinfoil hat and it will tell the satellite my actions and it shows on the TV. Or so I can switch brains with someone."
"Who would you switch brains with?"
"Athena (the dog) because then I would not have to pick up because she does not have opposable thumbs."
