Even if you're the leader of the free world, sometimes you've got to do a little holiday shopping.
President Barack Obama stunned holiday shoppers on Saturday when he arrived at a Washington, D.C., bookstore to buy books during Small Business Saturday.
The day was established to encourage shoppers to buy products from mom and pop stores rather than just big chain stores on Black Friday.
Obama went to the bookstore with his two daughters, Sasha and Malia, and bought a long "list of books" from "Harold and the Purple Crayon" to "The Kite Runner."
No word on whether there was a discount for world leaders.

Does being a basketball star mean you get out of diaper duty?
Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan might soon know the answer, as he is reportedly expecting a baby with his wife Yvette Prieto, according to US Weekly.
Jordan and Prieto were married in April. Jordan is also the father of three children from his previous marriage, so at least he'll have the basics down.
But will they let the new baby watch "Space Jam?"

title: Photo to Teach Students a Lesson Goes Viral
text:
Be careful what you wish for.
Fifth-grade teacher Julie Anne Culp wanted to show her students how quickly an online photo can seen by multiple users.
So she posted a photo of herself with a message asking Facebook users to like her photo and see where it might end up.
They responded in droves. Currently the photo has over 7,000 likes on the original and when added to a page of radio personalities it gained more than 3 million likes. But as the Internet often does, users also started to "rework" the image making different versions where Culp's face was replaced with celebrities like Beyonce, Tobey Maguire or Nicholas Cage and rewrote the words on the sign she's holding to say nonsense.
If anything that had to have been an effective lesson for Culp's students, especially when they see how easily it is to have Nicholas Cage's face posted to a photo.
