How the world will love us

Mr. Bookworm reminded me (again) that, if the US elects Obama, the world will love us.  I suddenly realized precisely the form that love will take.  Let me tell you a story.

Many, many years ago, my Dad visited his sister, who lived on a farm at the time.  His most vivid memory of that visit was of his niece, aged 5, playing with a little kid (as in baby goat, not a small person).  My Dad reminded me that kids are just about the cutest things on four legs.  “I love you, I love you, I love you,” his niece cooed to the little goat.  “And tomorrow, we’re going to eat you for dinner.”

That’s how the rest of the world is going to love us when/if Obama is president.
