[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 49447, member: 1514"] DDD has a point. Doesnt she always? LOL. Jamie was always one who pretty much punished himself far more often than we ever had to. He used to eat himself up with guilt when he did something wrong and had to confess to his "crimes". Another example from my Jamie files: We had been out someplace with Cory and had left Jamie and his buddy at baseball practice at the local elementary school. Practice got canceled due to rain but Jamie and his buddy had to sit there because we were in an appointment with Cory. Well they got bored and decided to go exploring since this was the elementary school they had gone to before. They walked around the outside of the building, looked into the windows, looked at the playground, checked out the cafeteria windows...then they made the inevitable mistake. They found a window cracked open. They decided to go on in and see what had changed since they last went to school there. Little did they know that when they pushed the window up, it set off a silent alarm. While they were browsing the halls the local cops were on their way. Now seeing how these were really two good kids with no mischief at all on their minds, the cops found them wandering the halls simply looking at the rooms. They were amazed to find no damage at all and nothing stolen...no candy gone, no drinks stolen, not a mark anywhere on any walls, nor was a thing out of place except for these two idiots wandering the halls! When the cop asked them what on earth they thought they were doing their answer was priceless: "We got caught in the rain so we decided to see if the school had changed since we went here and Nope...it really hasnt!" When the cop asked them why they hadnt stolen anything or damaged anything they said "Well, that would be wrong of us and we could get in really bad trouble." DUH! The cop must have been doubled over in laughter I imagine. These kids were 13. The cop read Jamie the riot act, he told him he could go to jail for xxx amount of time, be considered breaking and entering, yada yada yada, that he would have to talk it over with his superiors but that he would be back...this was all done as he was driving him home in the rain. We got home to find Jamie on the front steps of the house bawling like a baby. He was completely inconsolable. He was convinced he had completely ruined his future and that he was going to go to "prison" and that he would never be a Marine and that his hopes of being a cop were now dashed. The boy was in hysterics. Oddly enough...the cop never came back...lmao. Im sure the entire police force got a huge laugh out of those two idiot kids. I am also sure the cop realized that Jamie was not some delinquent who was up to trouble. Hmmm...if that cop could see him now! [/QUOTE]
