refugee kid conversation of the week

Girl (while looking through a flipchart of American presidents):  Hey, why don't they have Barack Obama in here?  He's the only black president, and they left him out!

Me:  Oh, this is just too old to have him in it.  It must have been published before he got elected.

Girl:  What?!  But that was so long ago!

Me: . . . I suppose it does seem that way to you.
