How to Date Like the Obamas
There’s a way you can be like the President. They call it date night, and though I’m not a very good dater in real life, I play one in Peekaboo magazine every month. Recently I pointed out the differences between your dating prospects and the Obamas’.
The Obamas have a limo and driver, which leaves little chance of getting in a fight on the way to the restaurant because Barack won’t stop to ask for directions.
You have a minivan with Chick-Fil-A ground into the seats and a collection of pinecones from Hobbs State Park rolling around the back. Sexy.

Loved it! You are so clever, Lela! I hope you have a gazillion fans there in Arkansas, because you deserve to be read.
One advantage my husband and I have over the Obamas is the “impressing you with my daily accomplishments” factor. While they START at ‘worked on helping those huddled masses’ and have to move up from there, I can get a WOW out of my spouse just by telling him how I single handedly avoided catastrophe when the overloaded washer got out balance and knocked the Tide onto the floor, at which point the cap broke and laundry soap flooded the hall. Acting quickly and decisively, I threw a beach towel over the whole mess and fled to my recliner with a Diet Coke and Sudoku book.
Top THAT, Michelle!
DeNae, you are too funny. I also impress my husband in small ways. Occasionally I don’t burn dinner, for example. It’s the little things. Thanks for reading! You make my day.
