How many glasses can four children use in one Sunday afternoon Mom & Dad nap?
I didn't have time to count,
too busy trying to convince the Sheriff that my husband wasn't beating me.
During the hour of freedom King made a break for it to Grandma's and set off the alarm.
You can imagine the dismay when Mr. Patterson opened the door to a gun in his face.
{Men are sometimes intimidated by his large stature and confidence.}
The officer barged back into the bedroom where I (still lay in bed.)
"Oh! Sorry Ma'am, I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
He blurted in a very nervous high pitched tone.
Then quickly turned around and walked out.
I was just glad he didn't find out about my toddlers unsupervised joy run.
That would have been awful.
Jail awful.
Edwin yelled just loud enough for the Sheriff,
who was still outside pacing the perimeter to hear,
"Woman, I though I told you to stay in bed!"
