Nankin, You're It!

John tagged me for a drabble. What is it? It's a story containing exactly 100 words, which is surprisingly short. My drabble is in the post below. Now I'm passing the drabble baton to Nankin47.blogspot.com

Perspective

"Mom, come get me,” he slurs. “I had a wreck."

"Slow down," I tell myself, but my foot is heavy on the pedal.

His second DWI. I wonder how much bail will be and imagine driving to Huntsville. He doesn’t look good in orange.

I see him--blood on his shirt. Sitting next to him on the railing as they tow his car, I take his hand and we wait--for him to be arrested.

Suddenly, the police wave us on.

We can go? No breathalyzer? Not even a ticket?

His car is totaled, but I've NEVER felt more euphoric.

Who's the Boss?

Chester is 4 months old now and we are enjoying every minute with him. Okay, so he is a little spoiled and has definitely made himself at home. Can you believe how big he's getting? Look at those feet!
