Prophesy Meets Vow, a memory

Prophesy Meets Vow

My father and I enjoyed arguing. Once, during one of those arguments, he predicted that I will become a conservative in my old age. I allowed that may be true, but I insisted that I shall do so on my own terms. Now that I am at age 60, I see that his cynical prophesy and my defiant vow both came true. Thus the old man trained me.
