Obama is my uncle...


Before I tell this story, I have to say that in my family everyone is kind of dark. For American standards I am olive skinned and I am one of the fairest in the family. I think we must have Arab blood somewhere in our ancestors.

So this week one of my Arab-looking uncles gave a long interview in a well-known Portuguese newspaper with a bunch of pictures in it (Congratulations, uncle!!!). Arriving at his mom's (my grandma's) house, he showed her the pictures and asked her: "So, do you know who this is?"

" Hummmm" grandma hesitated "it's the US President."

    But truly, it was an honest mistake. Because, indeed, in that particular picture my uncle did had preety good resemblences to Mr. Obama! And he wasn´t even taned, because in that case, they would be like twins!
    My uncle being much more hansom of course! ;)

    Parabéns para o meu tio que deu show naquela entrevista!!!
