It’s always an experience to hear Jake tell stories. He, my baby chile, got questioned by the law this morning. It’s understandable. It’s a school day. A random hooligan is walking around the neighborhood. Of course, the cops are going to be suspicious. Just more proof that my kid’s entire life is improv and the world is his stage. Here’s how it all went down (according to my 16-year-old chile):
Cop- “scuse me, boy. What’r you doin out here on a school day?”
Jake- “Well, see, it goes a little something like this…..”
*Neighbor who knows Jake sees it all going down and walks outside to lend Jake a hand.*
Neighbor- “Hey now, what’s goin on? This is a good kid here, he’s free to go, you got that?” (small chuckle)
Cop- “Well, sir, you see….”
Neighbor- “He’s homeschooled. Leave him alone.”
Cop- “Oh! I understand now. Sorry bout that.”
Jake – “Well, if you really want to, you can throw me in the hole for being SO DAMN AWESOME!”
*Cop laughs uncontrollably.*
*Jake walks home to tell me his fish story.*
Hey fuckers, wassup? It's been a while, eh?
*Crawling back in my hole*
4 minions who have sucked on my crap:
Ha! You're crazy! You need to crawl out more often. :)
Ya, it's been a while. Quit starving us.
I just had a co-worker come up to me today and tell me how traumatizing it was for her 10th grade daughter to have her backpack searched in the school's first random drug search--complete with police dogs.
Meanwhile...my middle school aged son had to rat out a classmate for bringing a 9mm to the cafeteria recently and the dogs are brought in quite frequently from 6th grade up. The kids are still smarter. Somehow they find out ahead of time and ditch the pot where they can get it later.
No LEO here has time to question a sweet-faced chile on the side of the road---unless he's waving a machete. Not sure what anyone could say to make them laugh.
Welcome to November!
There was a school shooting at a high school here about a week ago. I got a phone call that day from my neighbor asking how to start homeschooling. I'm a fucking nervous wreck because both my kids start driver's ed at the public school up the street on Thursday. Not the same school as the shooting, but still. It scares me.
so many in one week I could get use to this..
