Did you ever find yourself in a place that was totally unfamilar and that you didn't want to become familar with? Maybe you took a wrong turn or maybe you were miss-guided or given poor directions. I have.
Two days before Mother's Day I was served with papers to appear in Juvenile Court with my son. Two days after Mother's Day I appeared in Juvenile Court with my son. I'll be holding that over his head for the rest of his life :)
I could go on about how strange Juvenile Court is but I could easily be accused of having a middle-class-white attitude so I won't because I'm not so sure that I don't.
I will take a moment to note that I am becoming aware of a pattern in my son's and mine behavior. He continues to push or pull me out of my comfort zone and into situations where I am made to decide quickly and act boldly on my convictions where my convictions concern him. I believe in my son. So far my convictions have been correct, woe unto him if they are ever prooven incorrect.
Kids!
