Think your daughter and her two friends went straight to the swimming pool and came straight home today? Hmmmm ... or, maybe they took a little side trip to grab a smoke behind a local church over on the south side of town.
I'm just saying ...
We live in an area where kids can find lots of nooks and crannies to congregate and hang out. I like to make a game out of it. If I know them, and I know they're doing something their parents won't enjoy, I just give 'ole Mom & Dad a ringy-ding (and YES, I totally watch out the window as their parents bust them - you know you would too!). If I DON'T know who they are, I grab my camera, pop out around a corner and start taking pictures (my favorite was the couple that was making out so heavily, they didn't even notice me standing there). You've never seen teenagers move so fast.
And they probably spend weeks SWEATING ... wondering, "Who the chic was with the camera?" ... "Who has those pictures?" ... long after I have deleted them.
Oh, life is fun in a small town.

HAHAHAHA! Please come move near me. I need all the help with supervision and (photographic evidence) I can get.
That is so funny!!
Thanks for the giggle today.

Holy Cannoli! I was the only person I knew who would rat out kids gone wild. My students (11th graders) are like," Dude, THAT is wrong! You can't be tellin' our parents stuff if it doesn't happen at school."
Oh reaaaallly? Nothing's better than catching an evildoer (to appropriate GW's word) and giving the adults in charge the 411. I believe I'm saving lives out there. Who's to say this or that kid wouldn't have ended up a meth-addicted repeat offender with 10 crack babies by six different men if I hadn't stepped up and reported the ditch party at her house?? Hmmmm?
You are my shero, Crunchy Mom.
Where have you been? For weeks, I've been looking for blog-parents like me who are raising "alphabet" kids. I'll meet your OCD and RAD and raise you ASD, ODD and GAD. Definitely adding you to my blogroll!
Hmmmm. Maybe you could get a job with the CIA when you are done raising kids.
Wow, you are awesome.
Will you please move to New Orleans? We have plenty to keep your camera busy!
That is awesome. I SO needed you around when I was in 5th grade. Oh yeah... that was me and my friend back behind the fence at her house lighting up some ole nasty cigs we found that her sister had.
Yea...me...the girl with asthma.
5th graders are so dumb... at least this one was.
oh dear...that would have freaked me out as a child!! Though...I didn't do much as a child.
