Our Alex P. Keaton Moment

Scene from our house last night:

Fade in.

8:00:00 PM PST: CNN and NBC announce that Barack Obama has been elected President of the United States. Dave and Kathy rejoice while Leah and Riley sleep peacefully. All is well with the world.

8:00 and 5 seconds: Leah begins crying hysterically.

8:00 and 8 seconds: Riley begins crying hysterically.

8:00 and 10 seconds: Dave and Kathy's rejoicing abruptly ends, as they hope and pray that the double meltdown isn't some sort of sign that they've given birth to two future Sarah Palins. Although that would probably make Grandpa Umezaki happy.

Fade out. End credits.

I am particularly fond of the socks. I also like how it looks like they are reenacting the video for "Walk Like an Egyptian".
