Social studies have never been my strong suit. My dad was trying to give me the Cliffsnotes of politics during a recent lunch together…
Dad: …and then there’s the Tea Potty, which is mostly for reach people. Some reach people like to be politically conservative because it means less taxes. I don’t know about the Tea Potty’s policies, but they are a conservative potty…
Me: Dad, potty is that thing you used to carry in the car’s trunk (when I was a toddler, we had a portable potty for long road trips). It’s party.
Dad: PAHRRRRRRRRRR-ty. Okay, got it.
Me: And it’s RICH, not reach. Reach is like, “out of reach.”
Dad: Like you and that A in school.
