A true funny. Our none too bright neighbor bought a whole chicken once and asked my grandfather how to cut it up to fry it. He told her to draw and quarter it. A few minutes later she brought him a penciled drawing of the bird...
Tell that chick to blow it out her shorts!
I'm delighted that you like it. Please feel free to use it yourself if you feel so inclined.
This is a story that could have turned very ugly, with a horribly different ending, I’m so happy it is what it is.
Agreed. I wonder how many moms don't strap their child in to their stroller securely because it has high sides, the child is sleeping and they are just going a short distance?
And how many American moms leave home with their child without even the most minimal means of legal self-defense such as pepper spray?
And I further wonder how many American moms might be unaware that firearms courses designed specifically for ladies are available at a nominal charge in most any American community ?
WOW Id not heard of this. This is in my home town...Ive been in Hulme road. Wow.
THIS mom rocks!
::chilling, but she is supermom::
Good work by the Mother, too bad she wasn’t armed.
What is a pelican crossing?
Between this mom and the one who strangled the raccoon:

I'll be taking one this fall to get my CCP.
A month or so ago my 9yo came flying into the house screaming about a raccoon in the barn, where her cats live. I went out with her and attempted to retrieve the .22 we keep in the furnace room out back.........it wasn't there. I was not happy, and my husband was out of town, which is why she came for mommy not daddy. One of the neighborhood toms we feed was chasing the 'coon out of the barn when we got in there.
I was real comfortable with that .22, but when I called my husband he told me it wasn't in the furnace room because it needed repair. He dealt with the 'coon withthe 12guage on Friday when he got home, but by then it had already killed 2 of the new kittens. I'm now as comfortable with the 12guage as I am with the .22 (which has since been repaired)
“What is a Pelican Crossing?”
I too assumed it had naught to do with birds, so i asked Wikipedia. Here’s what they say:
“is a type of pedestrian crossing featuring a standard set of traffic lights with a push button and two coloured lamps for pedestrians using the crossing. The official name is Pelicon crossing (short for PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled crossing) but pelican is consistent with other crossing types (see below) named after animals and, in particular, birds. The term pelican crossing is used only in the United Kingdom, although, of course, similar traffic control devices are in use throughout the world.”

I really don’t get the Faber/Ezos nazis. Spoiling them is giving them crap they don’t need. Being close to them is American.
That’ll teach ‘em. Don’t mess with momma!
I had 3 little stair step boys, and I too resorted to the little leash thing to keep the youngest with me when we went places like the mall. He was headstrong and had no compunction about running off into a crowd.
I used a front pack with them, but I doubt I was doing it by the time they were 16 months, not because I wouldn’t have loved to, but I suspect by then they were way heavy! (of course, I was still nursing the last one at that age, and some people thought that was sick—and no, I didn’t do it in public).
Oh, btw my little headstrong youngest is now 26 and works for the State of TX and is probably more conservative than I am. So, I know I did something right! ;)

From time to time there will be a story about a newborn kidnapped from a hospital’s nursery by a frustrated or depressed woman who then tries to pass the baby off as her own. This is the first incident (other than a for money kidnapping) that I can recall in which a man participated. Perhaps when they’re caught we will learn the motives.
Tough tomcats you’ve got in your neighborhood. Coons can weigh up to 35 pounds.
There was a horrible case in Delaware in '85 or '86 where the man participated. The kidnapped baby was found and safely recovered, unfortunately that child and a slightly older sibling wound up being raised by their grandparents, because they became orphans the day of the kidnapping. The deranged woman who claimed the baby as her own had murdered the mother and father.
20 years ago and it still bothers me to no end. It happened only about 2 miles from where I lived, just days before Christmas.
Hey, there was a grandmother that fought off a cougar too!
:)
I love those tomcats.
My husband said the coon weighed well over 30 pounds, and he would know. He hauled it out of the barn after he dispatched it. There’s a serious problem with rabid ‘coons in this county, so he picked it up with a shovel and hurled it into the woods on the other side of our creek........he would not bury it here.
I suppose if a man is living with a woman who is that psycho, he believes he must please her.
And believe what she tells him..........and apparently he was not the only one who believed her about the pregnancy. No one questioned her when she showed up with the baby........at least not at first.
