My friend Kim recently told me that she asked her eight year old son, Owen, if he wanted to go to Washington D.C. for the Presidential Inauguration in January.  Why she didn’t ask me is another story for another time.  One in which she may or may not continue to be my friend.

ANYWAY…. Owen responded with, “Really?  That would be so fun! Do we get to ride the trains?”

“Everywhere!” his mother replied.

Owen look concerned, paused and then finally said, “But Mom, are we going to have enough change?  Barack Obama said we need a lot of change.”

You know, maybe Owen is on to something.  Maybe Obama was talking about coins.  Hey, whatever will help the economy works for me.
