We have a family in our church that at all times has at least 2-3 members in prison. I'm talking their children and grandchildren....from one generation to the next. Now, if ONE of mine go to jail or prison, I could truthfully say, "I did the best I could..." However....if ALL of my children did time, I'd have to say, "I screwed up really bad, I am a horrible parent." Anyway, their granddaughter just got out of prison, (where she was able to spend Christmas with her mother as they were both incarcerated at the same institution.) Well, this girl was at church a few Sundays ago and as we were talking I noticed a tattoo. She saw me looking and said, "Oh yeah, that's my best friends name. It's a prison thing."
What I Wanted To Say
"Bullshit, you were her bitch and she branded you so everyone knew it."
Why I Did Not Say It
1) We were at church.
2) If I went to prison for an extended period of time, who knows what my
scared butt would do? Maybe find the biggest bull dyke there to protect me.
3) I am not one to back down from a fight, however, prison teaches people to defend themselves in what I imagine are very painful, very scary ways.
4) What business is it of mine if she's tattooed ass to elbows with women's names?
What I Actually Said
So, how is your new job at the Waffle House going?
