Last night one of my wife’s friends was at a Democrat pow wow with her five year old son who’d just finished his first day of kindergarten.
I’ve told the true story at that hall many times about how my Mama had my Daddy buy me set of 1963 world books the fall I turned four in 1962.
A kid that’s raised with a set of World Books, I do not believe can be Trumpy when they are grown. Trumpism is nothing but ignorance and is cured by knowledge.
That mother heard my speech and had her husband but that little boy a $1,2000 set of World Books last fall. She introduced me to the little boy as the man whose parents bought him a set of World Books sixty years ago.
I know the spirit of my father, was there behind me on my left. I could feel him. But on my right I could hear Mama in my mind saying ASK HIM WHAT HE WANTS TO BE WHEN HE’S A GROWN MAN!!!
So at her prompting I leaned over and asked and he said
I want to go to college then become President so I can serve the people
On my right I heard Mama clap and cheer, and I swear something stroked my hair, the way she used to.
But we looked up and on the flat screen Trump was being booked into Fulton County, and the little boy said, he should have stepped down when he lost, and his Mama said
See what happens when you don’t?
And I felt Mama’s hand on my shoulder, then I know she hugged my Daddy, but I never saw them at all.
It was a crowded room and noisy, and maybe I imagined my folks were there.
But when I got home my wife said, you must have forgotten to put away this World Book.
I put it away, but I must have forgotten taking it out.
