Jaywalking Is In His Genes

Sure I jaywalk he said. It’s in my genes. I inherited this trait from my father. I cannot help it. He always jaywalked too. I was astounded. We had known each other for ten years. I had never heard him talk about a father. Where does your father live? I asked. In heaven. Oh, I’m sorry. What happened? We are not sure. All we know is he got hit by a car.
