Jail....

Here's a story that Debbie related to me. She has all the funny ones of Ryan and Katelyn. Last week, Debbie's dad (who used to be the chief of police) was at her house. Ryan and Katelyn love Grandpa! Somehow they got on the subject of Ryan and Katelyn reading this last school year.

Debbie told her dad that they would bring home "baggie" books. Baggie books are loaner library books that the librarian picks for them at their grade level- the kids have no choice in what they get. If Ryan and Katelyn didn't want to read the book that was picked for them because maybe it looked to hard, or the pictures were not so good, they would write my initials, or Debbie's or Wes' on the card.

Debbie's dad told them that they shouldn't do that. He told them it was against the law and they would go to jail for forgery. To which the conversation proceeded something like this:

Ryan: So, I want to go to jail.

Katelyn: Yeah, me too!

Gpa: No you don't want to go to jail. All they have is a bed to sleep and sit on, a toilet in the room, and all they get to eat is moldy bread and water.


Katelyn: Oh, you mean like church???


Out of the mouthes of babes!!!!

  1. Just checking, but doesn't your kitchen in the chapel have a freezer to keep sacrament bread in so it doesn't "get" moldy? And hey, where is the bed?
