My father was timid, torpid, and fond of radical politics
Plus, he worked in the government.

One day, he was attending a radical meeting, and the secretary got sick. He was pressed to take minutes. Convinced that this ill-advised activism meant he must now be on the government's watch list, he warned all us kids to report any mysterious vehicles, strange people, hang-up calls, and anything else that might signify surveillance.

Early one day, and for the first time, my mom decided to make Sun Tea. She placed an enormous jug of water and tea bags on the front porch in order to bake in the sun, and headed off to work. My father saw the jug and concluded it must be an enormous Molotov Cocktail.

What would you do if you saw an enormous Molotov Cocktail sitting just outside your front door? Call the fire department, maybe? Alert your family and neighbors? Being both timid and torpid, my dad simply avoided the front porch, used only the back door that day, and anxiously hoped for the best.

Is the leap of logic "tea is just water with leaves in it, so leaving a jug of water in the sun with a couple of tea bags will result in a drinkable brew"?

I quite like the idea of a timid
radicalist.

"Excuse me Your Highness, but I don't believe that a patriarchal hegemony that perpetuates the exploitation of the working classes by a ruling elite is the most beneficial form of society for everyone."

But
I might be wrong, it's just my opinion.
