You just brought out a memory I should try to recall more of–when we lived in Virginia, I remember asking my parents about slums one day after church (We’d talked about them in Sunday School and I was probably in the 3rd grade). My dad drove us to another part of town when we got to see “slums.” Later, we told these new friends of ours about where we’d been and found they’d just moved from that area… It was an odd feeling–looking back on it all, our neighborhood wasn’t all that great either

I always have thought he had a stroke and died in 91 for several reasons; one being Bush One was so boring.

ROFL

Oh I know I shouldn’t laugh, and I am sorry for your father’s death, but that line was hilarious. As I’m *hoping* you meant it to be.

I’ve always known trailer parks. We never lived in one, but in poor, rural Wisconsin, they were definitely a fact of life. (And my parents lived in one when my brother was a baby.)

That is a lesson that most parents don’t teach.
