You're wrong, Old Lady

My mother told me yesterday that her friend Pin's daughter had been fined $500.00 for child endangerment after her toddlers were picked up on the highway in the middle of the night, riding tricycles. She thought that fine was terrible. She said, but, isn't that cute? Those kids were going to McDonalds on their trikes to get french fries! Hee hee. * ********************************************************************I said, no, it's not a bit cute, they could have been killed, where was their mother?? My mother said, well, she was probably tired, those kids are a handful, she probably went to sleep. Then she saw my horrified face and added, "oh, like that hasn't happened to you." Uhh, no, it hasn't. I never slept while any child was awake. I wanted to tell her that these stories are not amusing. Lissa calling 911 on the Easter Bunny..amusing. Lissa wondering around a parking lot at age 2 looking for breakfast while her mother is snoring at 10 am...not amusing. Yes, I hold a grudge. One of the "cute" stories my mother has is, me at age 6 coming home from school to find the whole family had moved and forgotten to tell me. My aunt came and got me the next day. Ha ha. Sometimes I don't know how any child survived these people. I'm glad that lazy bitch got fined. The authorities don't find lost children amusing and neither do I. Stupid crazy people.
