Talking about the election

We were watching the returns, and Brokaw mentioned African Americans. Jack asked what the African American flag looks like. I told him its not a separate country, an African American is someone who is an American whose ancestors are from Africa, and usually they have darker skin. He informed me that "everyone has ancestors from Africa because that is where people started." True enough.

He also told me he learned in school that a girl has never been president, and he doesn't think that is fair. Also true.

I hope the election on where to have lunch tomorrow goes his way so he doesn't get disillusioned about democracy, but I guess that is a lesson too.
