Where Were You?

That's a good question and very easy for me to answer, as I was three years old on that day, says Grace Best, from the junior section of Paver Smith.

Yes, everybody seemed very happy on my third birthday - 20th January 2009, and though I know I'm obviously very cute, I did wonder why so many people were cheering.

"It's all about the great hope for the post baby-boomer generation", said Daddy.

Well that's great, I thought, 'cause I'm no baby now, I'm a little girl, and this Barack man looks nice and smiling up there with his own little girls. I didn't understand the bit about the generation thing though - wouldn't it be right that we're all now the Obama generation, and we can all just join in, and we can all have this hope thing too.

I think that's what Mr Barack was saying, but then Mummy asked if I wanted vanilla or chocolate, and I just said, "Both, please - why do I need to choose?"

Got to go now, as I don't talk as much as Daddy and his friends.

I will remember my 3rd birthday though - and I hope you all will too.
