The year is 2016 and the United States has just elected the first
woman, a Louisiana State University graduate, as President of the
United States , Susan Boudreaux. A few days after the election the
president-elect calls her father and says, 'So, Dad, I assume you
will be coming to my inauguration?'
'I don't think so. It's a 30 hour drive, your mother isn't as young as
she used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again.' 'Don't worry about
it Dad, I'll send Air Force One to pick you up and take you home. And
a limousine will pick you up at your door.'
I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?'
Oh Dad, replies Susan, 'I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made
by the best designer in New York .' 'Honey,' Dad complains, 'you know I
can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat.'
The President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Dad. The entire affair is
going to be handled by the best caterer in New York, I'll ensure your
meals are salt free Dad, I really want you to come.
So Dad reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan Boudreaux is
being sworn in as President of the United States. In the front row
sits the new president's Dad and Mom. Dad noticing the senator sitting
next to him leans over and whispers, 'You see that woman over there
with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States.
The Senator whispers back, 'Yes sir, I do.'
Dad says proudly, 'Her brother played football at LSU.'
