Obama Cinches Democratic Nomination, Tristan Finds out First

written 4 Jun 2008 in the earliest morning


A Wired News feed in my Gmail tells me that Obama has finally become the Democratic Presidential Candidate, and as I click on the link to read the details I mention it to my son, Tristan, who I’ve been explaining the election process and my affinity towards Obama vs. Hillary or that old guy, etc.

“I know,” he replies.

“No, I just found out right now. It only happened today.” I assume he’s just mistaken or misunderstood something Olivia and I were discussing the other day.

“I know, I saw it this morning on TV.”

My son is officially now more well-informed than I.
