Mike Is In Trouble Again

I cannot believe this kid! He can’t keep his nose clean for all of five minutes. He really can’t. So, I’m a hard working lady and I have to get up for work at 5 am. This means that most nights I’m asleep by about 9 pm. Now this ball of sunshine, he leaves the house after I go to bed! My neighbors keep an eye on this sort of thing and tell me about it the next morning, but then I hear that one of his friends was arrested for drugs.

This was an unbelievable shock to my system—how could my son be involved with something like that? He swore to me that he wasn’t involved and he’s never done any drugs himself, but I couldn’t even impress upon him enough that a lot of times it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, it just matters that you’re at the wrong place at the wrong time. Today, I called a friend of mine who is a Clearwater criminal lawyer and asked him to sit down with Mike and explain to him all the ins and outs of the legal system so that he’ll know how much trouble he could be getting himself into. Hopefully this will be the jumpstart to Mikey making a positive change in his life.
