“Dad, I think you ought to join.”

by Tom Lewandowski—Indiana

In a trailer park in Wolcottville last Thursday I signed up a guy in
a neatly decorated trailer and then talked to his visiting buddy
standing a few feet away leaning on his car. I started into my rap
which he and his 12 year old step-daughter had partially overheard. He was interested but then his daughter looked up at him and said “Dad, I think you ought to join.” She then explained her recent civics class lessons. He smiled and signed up for both of them.
