Inauguration-ish stuff + other

January 25, 2009

Okay, here I am again.  Sorry for not posting. (I had a bunch of drafts that just never made it up here).

Okay, since I feel compelled to (Okay, fine, I’m interested in it too): the inauguration.

We watched it in school- which was cool.  I got to miss half of Spanish (for more details on Spain vs. my Spanish teacher, see my Spanish page),

What is really interesting is the level of interest taken in it everywhere.

Kani watched it too, but so did the elementary schools.  Some kinder- 3rd grade kids came with their parents to visit yesterday, and found the Barbies.  What did they want to do?  Reenact the inauguration.

Cast:

Ken with a tuxedo: Obama

Shirtless surfer Ken: Biden

Hollywood-brown-haired Barbie: Michelle Obama

Rapunzel Barbie: Malia

Normal-looking (for a Barbie)-blond Barbie: Hillary Clinton

Swan Lake Barbie: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

Indian Kelly: Steven? Chu: Energy Secretary

Cross-eyed horse riding Kelly:  George Bush (these kids are heavily influenced by the Democrat or die attitudes around here. Joking.)

It was certainly very interesting:  Both the kids playing Biden and Michelle wanted their own oaths.  I as the babysitter/Supreme Justice made up some on the spot.

Well, it’s time to go eat lunch.  As Kani said when she walked in, “We come bearing samosas!”
