There is a family at my church (yes, at my church) that is totally screwed up. This is one story illustrating why. It was told to me by my mother.
One of the people in this family’s name is Suzie. She has three children; A.J., Justin, and Nancy.
Background on A.J.: He’s been kicked out of 3 kindergartens when he was 5. Burned down part of his apartment complex. Broke out the windows on 5 cars in a parking lot with a baseball bat. Steals everything all the time. Him and Justin live with their Aunt Sherry and Uncle Randy (actually good people at my church) because their mother doesnt want them.
Background on Justin: He burned down his dad’s house this weekend.
Background on Nancy: She’s like less than a year old and smells like an ashtray.
This weekend the two boys visited their mother. They came back and were telling Sherry what all they did with their mother. A.J. mentions that they went down to the corner to buy pills with her.
Sherry gets very upset that A.J. has been exposed to a drug dealer and goes over to Suzie’s apartment. Sherry tells Suzie how upset she is to hear that he was exposed to that. Suzie then starts yelling at A.J. and says he needs to stop lying about her. She yells and yells about how he needs to quit making things up. She then says “A.J., tell your Aunt Sherry the truth. Tell her I did not go to the corner to buy pills. Tell her your mom doesnt do pills, only pot. Tell her that we bought marijuana, NOT pills!”.
Like thats any better. Apparently she’d been sending him to the corner to buy the pot for her. Sad, but funny. It just cracked me up that she was so pissed that he said she bought pills, and it was marijuana instead.
