One is mine by blood, 2 by marriage, but, boy are they good kids, especially the 12 year old. I love him. I love them all, but, we shoot hoops and talk all the time, he is just a great kid.
I had a kid in the store tonite, the scary place, and boy was he scary. The mother opens the door in runs the 5 year old, growling and scared another little boy in there to tears, the mom left. I told this mom, " ma'm you got to get your kid." Well, she was on the phone talking to a girlfriend, I take it, about men. It should had been about birth control. Then, he was on the fax. Pushing all the buttons, we just got this new one. I said, " don't touch the buttons" and pushed his hand away when he wouldn't listen, well, he hauled off and cracked me ( I was leaning over into the fax) I saw stars. I said, LOUDLY," DON'T HIT ME." Then, the mom came running.
She put the kid right infront of where I was working. THANKS... and, now, he was going into people's purses and ripping merchanidse all over the place. The woman whose purse it was said to him, " now who is going to pick that all up?" He said, " you will." I smiled...
then, she said, " oh, no...your mom will." I smiled.
Then, the mom came over and said to me, " you know what it is like with kids?" I said, " not like yours." He was so cute to look at, I could had squeezed him, but, then, I might...had squeezed the life out of him, LOL
My mom used to say, " no such thing as a bad kid, only bad parenting skills..." I agree. She was a horrible mom.
When they left, she said, " what do you say to the nice lady?" HA, it wasn't thank you.... My glasses nearly fell off my face.
