In Medias Res

So, my family was sitting around the dining room table one evening after dinner just chatting. Sometimes these conversations get uber heavy, talking about my middle sisters Calvinistic views on predestination or Dad saving the world from Global Warming, but this night was an exception. For whatever reason my youngest sister was singing that Presidents song. You know the one...you just list the presidents to a little tune starting with Washington of course. Well, I personally don't know this song, which, number one makes me feel a bit ignorant and number two makes me feel like my parents wasted a ton 'o' money on private school from Kindergarten to fifth grade when one would typically learn such songs. Anywho, my baby sis is doing outstanding all the way up to Reagan. She stops, looks at us and says unashamedly, "I always forget everyone after Reagan" [insert uproarious laughter - at her...not with her]. She only been alive for Bush-Clinton-Bush. I just love this story...maybe it was one of those 'in the moment' things that was so hilarious, but no one else would think so.
