“If he was right about that, maybe he was right about Obama...naaahhh, couldn’t be.””

SNORT!!!

I see that look flicker in my daughter’s eyes.
Then she rolls them and declares she is becoming “apolitical”.

HAH!

I just tell her she’s on the road to becoming her mom. Slowly but surely. (evil chuckle)

Amazing, isn't it? You mention how Reagan was made of awesome and tell them tales of how Reagan, Thatcher, the Pope, and Walesa brought down the Iron Curtain--and they look at you "Wait. Didn't Gorbachev magnanimously dismantle communism by himself?"

I just shake my head sometimes and go back to being the "old guy" and wonder when that happened.

That prediction begins as an insult, but over time it becomes settled as a realization...we can alter only so much.
