Again, History Facts? Not So Good.

Last night we indulged in a favorite family tradition: Movie Night! (This is when the boys get to stay up a bit past bedtime, eat popcorn and candy, and watch a movie. Good times.) The selection of the evening was Ghostbusters, trasporting Tyler and I back to 1984. It was hilarious (and still one of the best movies ever).

About 3/4 of the way through, there was a scene with the African American ghostbuster. Glen turns to me and says: "Mom! That brown guy looks kind of like our president!"

I laugh. "Yes, I suppose. Do you know what our President's name is?"

Glen: "Barack-amous Prime!"

Nope. The Transformer who leads the "good-guy" Transformers in saving the Earth from the bad Transformers is not the same as the President of the United States. But good guess.
