There was a man named J.P. Dare who was troubled, but he didn't care. When his daughter was ten she said to him then, "Aren't good daddies rare?"
I wrote this WAY back in 5th grade for a D.A.R.E. project. My dad smokes so, in essence, I was writing what it felt like to be young and to know that a parent is doing something destructive. At the time this was written, there were a lot of other family issues taking place as well, so I drew a lot on how I felt about that.
