(11,200 posts)Years ago my mother and I left home to do some errands. While we were gone my sister and her two little kids came over to the house. When my mother and I got home we went inside where we found my niece and nephew sitting in the living room quiet as church mice. One of them pipes up: " AJ (kid that lives in the house behind us) and EJ (son of our family doctor) did something REALLY BAD!
Where is you Mother. Outside with AJ and EJ.
My mom and i headed outside where we found out that AJ and EJ, using charcoal, had drawn all over the side of the garage. And my sister caught them in the act, grilled them and called the mother of the boy whose family we knew. Mrs family doctor and my sister was standing over the boys as they were forced to clean the side of the garage. You have to know my sister but it was all my mother and I could do to not break out in laughter in front of them (we waited until we went back in the house). There could not have been any worse punishment then having my sister catch them and deal with them. I felt kind of bad for the boys (even though what they did was wrong).
We found out later on that later that day, while the Dr dad was reading his paper his wife told him what EJ had done. As she told him the story, the paper started to slowly come down as he looked at his wife. Their son turned out to be a good kid in the long run. The other kid ended up with a criminal record.
