You should see the way I walk around on the way to the nursery. I look a state.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In some ways, I'm still a kid from Missouri and Oklahoma, and I'm trying to find my way.
I'm always concerned about how our state looks.
I grew up in Kilmichael, Mississippi. It's a dot on the map 100 miles north of Jackson.
We've got to protect the nursery schools. I'm chair of governors in a nursery school in my area. If we lost the provision, I'd be worried about the socialising skills of children.
I'm a farm boy from Connecticut, and I adopted urban life.
Well, I was born in El Paso, Texas, it was in the nearest hospital to the family farm.
To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while.
When I was a little kid we moved to Tulsa, then to St. Louis and, by the time I was in kindergarten, we lived in Springfield, Missouri. There I basically grew up.
We are not naughty children, and the state is not our parent.
I was on the board at my children's school in Phoenix: I was Mr. Daddy Daycare.
