Hillbillies Rednecks and Hippies
Only hillbillies have a couch on their porch.
She has cute eyes. She is a cute kid.
I am a hillbilly, I inform her.
Her eyes narrow.
Are you a redneck too?
Sure, why not?
Where do you keep your guns?
In my gun refrigerator.
Where is it?
If I told you I would have to show you.
Show me! She looks highly interested.
Maybe another time.
There is a pause before she says “Mommy says you are a hippie!”
She’s got that right.
Slow smile. She is smug now.
A baby in training to be prejudiced against some group. Sad really.
