Managing Expectaions

My young cousin Braelyn, age 7, who lives in California was picked up from school earlier this week where her classmates were hugging her and wishing her luck on her pending trip. They reminded her to get HIS autograph as they waved good-bye. Two days later she found herself in a Washington, DC hotel layering up for a day of sight-seeing in the cold.  As her mother dressed her she very matter of factly asked mom, "So when are we going to visit Barack Obama?"  Her mother explained to her that they were not going to to actually get to meet Barack Obama and would not be going to his house.  Braelyn is not happy that she will not get HIS autograph.  

Peace,
Leatrice
