yeah well. How well do you think her kids are doing in school? I was thinking of a specific kid in San Antonio. Last I heard he was in juvie and the other kids were still going through it. I don't know what he was there for, but he had asked my son to help him get some roach spray. My son asked me. I couldn't do anything else for him though. His mom would not let me take him to the library.
In order to get out, he needed to be able to imagine anything else.
