My dad was studying to get a job in the government. People around town said he would make a good mayor.

One of the requirements was to annoy someone already in the government. My family and I were driving around town.

Another requirement was driving around town! My dad spotted a police car ahead of us and pulled out a cigarette and lighter.

"DAD WHAT ARE YOU DOING", I practically screamed. "Annoying a person in the government", he replied. 

"Smoking even one cigarette can lead to addiction and that leads to death", I said calmer but just as firm. "You're right Zaria (not my real name)", he said. He put the cigarette and lighter down.
