Todays the day. Court Time 9 am
I got my son cleaned up Haircut , shave, He left a little goatee that I missed seeing until we go in the car this morning. Strike 1, He could not find a copy of his Grades. Strike 2, And is attitude was ticking my off. Strike 3. He is nervous, I am nervous and a little ticked.
The court house has a metal detector. The door police man did not like my cell phone. Off I go back to the car. We sit down and the place is packed, and alot of folks look guilty of something. I should have done a dry run of this because I did not know what was going on. Next the Court guy starts reading names and folks reply with Guilty or Not Guilty. What the heck is this, First I tell my son he is guilty, then I think about it and change it to not guilty, The read off 100 names and ours is not called.
They tell all the not guilty to file off and do some paper work , come back Monday, Now we sitting on the group W bench with all the guilty
folks. Names are called, they walk up, sit down etc. Still we are forgotten and forlorn,
Then they say if you posted bond, sit over there. I was not sure, but I did prepay the $350 fines and had a bond paper , so off we go to sit where the jurors sit. We are up close the judge and get hear every one talk or getting a talking too. Very entertaining. One girl had a ticket for rock climbing during hunting season. She was cute and got off. Others were not so lucky, DUI's can't seem to get a break today,
One girl had Intoxicated pedestrian fine. Drunken assault is hard to wiggle away from.
They call our name, me and the boy walk up there, he tells his story, ALakazam. To fast for conditions vanishes in a puff of smoke. I control myself and don't yell Yay!!. We need one more fine to vanish, My kid has the magic scroll but he does not play it. I'm standing behind him using all my telekinetic ability to get him to Play the 30 hour Driving course certificate. Finally the Judge says lets make it the $143 ticket and I speak up. My Kid lays the certificate down, A hush is heard as the putt is made. The ball is rolling toward the hole. Both tickets are dismissed. Hole in one!!, Inside I'm jumping up and down. My Son did good, I'm so proud. Kid learns a lesson today and I don't have to pay for. Thanks everyone for the advice. Especially CopperJewel and Justin SC
