Ah yes Vera
We mothers are so powerful the weather needs our permission
Kel - I'm glad you got to vent like that - just let it all hang out - even though to be honest I'm not quite sure what it was about
The good thing is you exploded in an appropriate group - we are people who understand you and what's happening
I remember that for a time the local police were my best friends during weekends and holidays when all the people in the suits and nice dresses went home
His last New Year - what a hell of a New Years Eve
I got a call from the police that they had P in the lock up and would I come and get him
I said "No" but I did go to the Police Station to tell them and they had a quiet little chat with P - and I could hear them yelling at him
"You've got a great mother Mate!! One of the best. A lot of boys would kill to have a mother like yours and you treat her like shit. You are killing her Mate. Mate - get your act together."
If they hit him - I still don't care
He was unco-operative and I said to the police
"If I take him home he will be off straight away - I can't control him and his father is having one beer after and other just like every other New Year. Everyone will be better off with him in the lockup tonight"
It was his last New Year and he spent it in the lock-up - there are worse places
We do have to make a stance with these brats. They might look like adults but they are still brats
Kel - he might be doing his angel act with the local constabulary atm - but they will see under that shiny duco any time
Cultivate the local police - they will learn and they might just be your best friends at times too
