#sonOne told his daughters ( #GD1, age 12; #GD2, age 8 ) about the two cops that used to stop me every morning on my way to school (at gunpoint, naturally) to harass me. Including a daily Interpol check, to make sure I wasn't an international terrorist. Something about a Black kid with an armful of books, I guess.

He's trying to give them more personal connections to the events of the day.
