American Ears

Yesterday, we met a kid who lives across the street from the school. When we asked him questions, he would often say "Obama this, Obama that." I asked him, "Kid, do you know who Obama is?" He says, "Sure. He's the American president." Oh good, so he knows. But then he continued to use Obama's name, like "Obama took me out to dinner for my birthday. Obama got my favorite dish." I said, "Kid, are you sure you mean Obama, the American president, is buying you dinner?" He says, "Not Obama. Wo Ba Ma." (Translation? "My Mom and Dad.")
