President's Day collides with Black History Month

In the van, on the way to eat, Grandma Judy said "So, has your teacher told you any more about President Rocko Bottom?" [Stephen's pronunciation of Barak Obama]
Stephen replied, "He's not the president anymore."
Grandma was perplexed and said, "Oh really? Well, who is the president now?"
Stephen said, "African Lincoln."

Later, when Grandma asked Stephen to tell Grandpa Gary who the president was, he did come up with the proper name of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, and then sometime even later, said George Washington was actually president, so we had three administrations in the space of an hour, two of them run by dead guys. Big day!
