My daughter's (current) favorite movie is Hairspray. She loves, loves, loves Tracy and Link (although I'll take Corny Collins, thank you) and all the music, and the opportunities to get up and dance. She always has to ask me when it's on, why Amber's mom doesn't want the black and white kids to dance together. I tell her that some people used to try to separate other people, just because their skin was a darker color. That doesn't make much sense to her, so she shrugs and keeps on dancing.
After her umpteenth viewing last night she asked me, "Could we watch Barack Obama now?"
"Why?"
"Because I want to hear what he has to say."
She's 4 1/2.
It's really gonna be all right, people.
