Good Girl
As a kid I gave my parents little trouble and later showed only the usual rebellious teen spirit. (They disapproved of guys I dated, but that’s another story).
And although I’ve stood on picket lines, argued before the Corps of Engineers against ecologically disastrous city projects, marched for good causes, volunteered for a few, and did some political campaigning, I’ve never climbed up on a soapbox, taken big risks, or been in real good trouble.
Not like my WW II veteran dad who crossed an ocean, or my friend Fred who rode a Freedom Bus.
And I still ask myself, Why not?
