so I just got home and decided to try and make some funny comments about the blotter. After reading this one and thinking for a minute, the content alone was pure humor.

A father is locked in his room by his child because he is drunk. Then the father calls 911 to get help getting out of his room, then his son gets on the phone and explains why his father is on an adult time out. Classic, pure comedy. Sad yes, but funny none the less.

Anyone notice the time this was received? Looks like the 16 yr old has more sense than the, alleged, drunk father.

Got to give the guy an "A" for self-control. Got to give him an "F" for not hitting her back.

There would have been 4 boy involved in the second theft but the 4th one was busy playing the PSP that was stolen first.

Isn't X-14 a spray cleaner for bathroom showers and bathes? Maybe it was a "mobile" advertisement vehicle.

Maybe someday this young man will laugh. This was my teen years. I feel for this boy. God bless him. Good for him for letting dad know his behavior is not acceptable.
My sibs and I do find humor in the things that we experienced, but my dad sobered up for the last ten years of his life. If he had not I don't know how funny we would find it.

I can read that one over and over again but the stress on the kid. God bless that kid, he did do the right thing. He kept his father safe and possibly others.

It's one of those situations that sounds funny and you can't help laughing but at the same time it is serious. I think we have all had times like this.....
