Nape's Space

For those of you who know my dad you will understand where I am coming from. For those of you who dont, I will explain. Well my dad is a pretty amazing guy who has faced alot of challenges in life. For the most part, he has learned not only to perservere, but to also contributed alot to this world. However, my dad has failed to gain any significant ground in one particular area, and that is vocabulary. He often mixes words up and uses words that dont even exist. In fact this is typical of most french canadians speaking english. One example is how he says "cellar phone" instead of "cellular phone". My sisters and I always bug him about that asking him if his phone only works in the basement. However my dad came up with a word today that may actually be a breakthough for the english language...and that word is...are you ready? Well its "equalibility." "Equalibility" is the "ability to be equal" as my dad puts it. It does not mean that you are equal to others or that you will ever be equal to others, rather it means that you have the potential to be equal. I love it. It is perfect for real world application. Poor people, minorities, single mothers, they all have equalibility, but will they ever achieve equality? Or will we ever allow them to achieve it? Who knows, but its possible. No matter what the politics of the word is, I can say that today my dad certainly surprised me.

One proud son. Dennis
