Trial by Jury

Ok – I am going to present you the evidence as I found it last nite at my house – and I will let you decide for yourself what happened in my home yesterday when my son was left alone for a few hours.

1. My dad and his girlfriend had left my house for a couple hours to do some shopping. They came home to find my son on the floor, with 409 carpet cleaner and an empty bottle of bug spray in his little hand. The house REAKED of carpet cleaner. My dad could not get a straight answer from my son as to why he used sooooo much carpet spray.

2. I come home and go into my bedroom to take my shoes off. My room REAKED of Polo cologne. Oh – I hit the roof. My husband does not wear that unless we go somewhere special or out to dinner. My husband wasn’t home yet. And the child is denying the use of the cologne and I quote “You always blame me for everything”. UM – hello – you were the only one home genius – of course I am blaming you. I sent him to my spare room to sit and think about it/.

3. I went into my spare bathroom (for some reason that I can not think of at this point because my sanity left at that point and I have no idea what I was going to do). On the counter, there is an empty bottle of vitamins (children’s chewable) sitting there. Now – there were only a few left in the bottle – so I was not too overly concerned until - - - - I opened the medicine cabinet. The brand new bottle that was sitting front and center was opened, cotton gone and a lot of vitamins were missing. OH MY HELL – I lost it!!! I went into the spare room and yelled at my son. He was shitty and he said he only ate 3 vitamins. I told him he had his dinner and unless he felt like telling me the truth – he was to consider himself put to bed.

4. After sitting outside for a while, my husband came home and we all sat outside, talking and venting and trying desperately to figure out what the hell happened in my house. I was still in my work clothes and went into my room to change. I went into my bathroom and lifted the lid to the toilet and low and behold – what did I see? Any guesses??? There was a wad of toilet paper and two pieces of what looked like the filter to a cigarette. The one piece was not in the toilet water – so I picked it up and looked at it. It looked just like the inside of the filter off a cigarette. (did I mention that my dad’s girlfriend smokes?)


SOOOOO – there you have it. That is the evidence as it was located last nite. Anybody want to weigh in on what you think happened because I still do not have a straight answer this morning!
