Am I evil or what????

As many of you know. Arizona has passed an Anti-illegal immigration bill that have people divided. The day the Governor of our state signed that bill, my mother called my cellphone and left a message. (She watches Telemundo and other hispanic TV stations). I'm paraphrasing her message...

"Anita! Don't go out. Don't leave the house. There are riots in Arizona and the police will arrest you because you're hispanic! Be careful!"

Whaaaat??? I turned on the television and saw that there were people crying and screaming. Hmm....

I called my mom and left the following message on her voicemail...

"Mom. I just got pulled over and they're arresting me. I'm not sure how long they'll let me keep my cell and Brent's not answering his phone. Can you get a copy of my birth certificate to show the cops that I was born here. Mom....I'm REALLY scared! Call me!"

This is when it gets Wicked....

I have Alycia call my Mom from her cellphone. This time my mom answers and this is what Alycia tells her...

"Abuelita. The police just took my mom to jail and she needs a copy of her birth certificate. Do you have a copy?" "I'm (giggle) scared (giggle giggle) "

"Haha...She can stay there!" my mom says.

Bummer... the joke's over....it was fun while it lasted! hehe

Yikes!

Yikes! I can't believe it's been 5 months since I've blogged! I have so much to share ...so many pictures. But I must first finish up the sashes for the dresses AND sew on the zippers on. Ugg... I know I should NOT have procrastinated.

Once I'm done with the dresses ...I promise to add pics of our lovely family..okay?

I must ask...How in the world does one young 10 year old use up $70 worth of cellphone minutes in 2 MONTHS? He doesn't call anyone...Mind you..This phone is to used for emergency use ONLY! Apparently, Mr. Joseph decided he didn't like having the cheap free games on his cell. So...my little man decided to purchase and download Lego, Pokeman, Sonic something?, Iron man, and a few others. Arrg! We had no idea he could access this or figure out how to download with his little phone. I guess he has the engineering gene....Gee...I wonder where he gets that from?

I almost wanted to cry when we told him to empty his piggy bank. That was such a sad moment. Pitiful little piggy bank. We explained to him that there are consequences to one's actions and he now needed to pay restitution. He has extra chores to make up the difference and I really hope he learns his lesson.

Ugggg.... now we have to add more minutes to his phone AND make sure this never happens again.....
