If there is a lesson on tolerance of one another's viewpoints, it is Curtis and I. We do not see eye to eye politically, yet we love each other very much. We give each other a hard time. Its just part of our father/daughter relationship.
Normally, I wouldn't post one of our political conversations but this one was too good to pass up. ***This post is NOT intended to spark any sort of political debate.***
Curtis: Listen. I've been meanin' to ask you. Do you support that Woman's March?
Me: Yeah, I do.
Curtis: (getting fired up) What I want to know, is where were all these women for the last 8 years?
Me: (confused) What?
Curtis: Where have these women been for the past 8 years?
Me: Women have been fighting these battles for equality a long time. There wasn't a need to march on the Obama Administration.
Curtis: (Not really listening to me) They don't do anything for 8 years then they wait until the day AFTER Trump took office to show up!
Me: Exactly!
Curtis: Exactly!
Me: Exactly!
Curtis: Exactly!
Me: ...
Curtis: ...
Me: Um, dad. I think you're missing the point.
