Yobama

Brooklyn, NY

There is a lovely little three year old in my life. I get to see her every so often and today I picked her up from school. On the way to catch the subway home we pass an there is an Obama/Biden poster in a storefront's window. Every time we see it I say, "Look, there's Obama!"

"Yobama! I love Yobama!"

The first time we saw the sign together she told me about eating a Yobama cookie from a nearby bakery. It was yummy.

This afternoon she looked me in the eye and made a serious and weighty observation, "Jennifer, sometimes I say, 'YAY YOBAMA!' And sometimes I say, 'YAY BARACK YOBAMA!'"
