- My tenth birthday, my father takes me to the park, and if you knew Mike Potter, you'd know that was a pretty big deal. I mean, he never really had time for stuff like that but he took me, and we played for hours - jungle gym, swings, everything and I was so happy. He was so popular with the people, and everyone seemed to know him, and I was so proud to be his daughter. I mean, he was, like, the mayor or something. It wasn't until years later that I realized he was dealing drugs to them
