At work, Mo Rocca is seriously enthusiastic about the drama of the campaign. I default to a “everyone is corrupt and there’s no point in believing in anything” posture that makes it tough to get invested, but his attitude is infectious. We shot a few man-on-the-street pieces in Tompkins Square Park on Monday that I really liked, including one where Mo pointed out the uselessness of buzzwords by walking up to people and asking without context “Change or experience?”

But while shooting that piece, we had this pretty adorable encounter of a father trying to get his son to say “Change” (while his son drove his toy Cadillac Escalade). Unfortunately (or for the sake of cuteness, fortunately) the son simply repeated the question in full. I love it, and also feel it’s a great example of how political opinions are taught to us by our parents.
