A young girl

A little person, perhaps two or three was wandering about boldly on her own at the Dollar Store while her mother and older sisters were in line. I talked to her briefly before getting in line, and then when her mother had finished her transaction, said, "Now, where is she?" I said, "I just saw her." She was over looking at some display or other. Her mother said to me, "You must be a teacher." I said, "No, I'm a lawyer, and I'm running for judge." An older daughter, who was 12 or 13, her eyes got wide, and I had to smile. I gave them a flyer and told them to vote for me and to tell their friends about me. I know that even now, it is odd to young girls that a woman could run for judge.
