[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 127392, member: 2459"] So I'm sitting in court today. The very same courtroom I've been to NUMEROUS times with difficult child, same judge (who, by the way, handled difficult child's adoption as an attorney), same prosecutor, the whole bit. The only difference? No difficult child!!! Yay!!!! :jumphappy: I was there as a prospective juror. Come to think of it, I think that was only the second time I've ever been in that court room without difficult child......oops, nope. The other time was with difficult child but it was for his adoption. Anyhoo........it took forever to finally get a seated jury. I was one of the last 4 or 5 to be called up for questioning. The prosecutor comes to the podium, takes one look at me and says, "Obviously I know difficult child, is that going to be a problem for you?" I tell you, I about fell out of my chair. If I would have had a drink, it would have been snorted halfway across the room. I managed to keep from making any kind of rude noise and just said not at all. I did have to chuckle to myself though. Not only from the situation as a whole but also the because of the kind of sheepish look that passed between the prosecutor and I. And yes, I got picked. (Thought for sure I would be excused because of difficult child but maybe the prosecutor thinks that will help my judgement. LOL) [/QUOTE]
