My Dad Did Not Want To Roller Skate

My dad’s car was on the fritz He got talked into roller skating. I am twenty-two he argued. Too old for it. But they could walk there. He noticed a young woman. She could really skate. Like him. He kept watching her. A voice said “She is the one”. He had been looking for a wife. He pursued her like a tiger. Made friends with her brothers. Stopped by his cousin’s place of business. Where she worked as a secretary. She tried to ignore him but it did not work. They were married in January.

He had been praying for a wife and when he heard that voice he knew.
