ghetto bird

Did anyone see that helicopter circling around today?

I gotta admit, I'm a chip off my mommy's block. I remember when I was a kid, we'd see an ambulance at the neighbor's house, and she'd say something like, "Oh, he must've had a heart attack." So when I'd ask how she knew, she'd say, "Oh, cause he's old, so must be heart attack."

or...as we drive past a young filipino guy driving a nice car..."Must be a drug dealer, how else can he afford a car like that."

or...as we watch the news about Graunke..."Must've been caught cheating, 'cause he not too bright."

And the list goes on and on. It's kind of funny...the ability to jump to conclusions is an art form for her! And it's hereditary. So when I saw that ghetto bird flying around, I couldn't help but think of my former kids and their families and what kind of mischief was going on. It didn't help that I watched the morning news go on and on about the home invasion in Salt Lake. So, there I was walking to the bathroom, the helicopter flying around, and I'm thinking..."Well, should I go bathroom? What if there's a lockdown? Do I really want to be stuck here? Dang, what if the person is in the kids' bathroom?" Lol...paranoid much? So...*sigh* I pissed like a race horse and speed walked back to my classroom. I was just trying to be safe...lol..
