It was a happy day indeed.
I haven't felt so patriotic in years.
What a great speech.
What a great president.
Hooray!
And in the spirit of happy, here were the things that made me laugh from the ceremony:
The pronunciation of "Malia" and "Sasha" in the first prayer. My mom, who was watching with her second graders, said they all repeated "Sasha" immediately after he said it. Who didn't?
The benediction ending with "we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right."
And to celebrate this historic day, we (well, mostly Josh) spent way too long tonight making these:
Finally, not only do we have a at least four years of great leadership ahead of us, we also have at least four years to make up new words containing the name "Obama." Have you noticed that it's particularly easy to do so? For instance, I'm "Obamamama" to "Zoebama."
Can you tell I'm a little giddy?
