[Fiction] A daughter talks about her father and his favorite TV Show:
“It’s the political woman who’s responsible for his new phase. I see him watching her on her TV show. With her husband & her kids, she’s traveling around her totally backward state. My dad loves that show. He gets all excited because sometimes she climbs out of their obnoxious vehicle & somebody hands her a rifle & she shoots a dog or a moose. ‘This woman’s real, Juby,’ my dad says. ‘You’ve got to sit down and watch this. This is how women used to be in this country.’
