<\/a>Fidel in our backyard with the chicken coop<\/p><\/div>\n
So when my brother’s friend, Fidel (who we all called Fido, cuz he imitated a dog bark very well!), when Fidel’s father had an argument with a guy trying to repossess his van & decided to settle it with a shotgun and the repossess agent died of the gun wounds….\u00a0 (still following the logic?)\u00a0 …. so when the only parent Fidel had was carted off to jail, my brother convinced my parents, who were registered Foster Parents, to take Fidel in.<\/p>\n
And I must tell you about the time the police were looking for Fidel’s father.\u00a0 See… after his father shot the agent, he drove his Van to our neighborhood knowing his son would be hanging with my brother.\u00a0 So the police found the van & knocked on our door looking for their suspect.\u00a0 And my brother let them in.\u00a0 Lord only know what he did with his stash! lmao!!!\u00a0 Our parents were both working at the time and I was napping… which meant I was home from school, rubbed a good orgasm out and was indeed napping! lol\u00a0 So there is a brief knock on my bedroom door, a burly cop comes in, sees me, says “Don’t get up” and proceeds to look under my bed.\u00a0 I’m thinking, “Crap!\u00a0 Whatever\/whoever he’s looking for is going to see him, roll onto its\/his back and shoot me through the bed!”\u00a0 But he just got up, checked the closet & left.\u00a0 Once in the hall he met another guy who questioned if he’d checked my room.\u00a0 He was asked if he checked the bed, yes, the closet, yes, the drawers…. crap!\u00a0 So he comes back in & checks the dresser drawers & I’m all…. “what are they planning to find a hand?!”<\/p>\n
Anyway… I was finally able to get outa bed at which point the cops had finished their search having found nothing.\u00a0 I later found out Fidel’s dad was hanging out at the local Baskin Robbins where I worked waiting until his son got to our house to try and flee justice.\u00a0 Didn’t happen, he was obviously convicted.\u00a0 And Fidel spent about a year at our house, until his older brother got it together enough to have him live with\u00a0 him.<\/p>\n
Fidel was a pot-headed, laid back reggae Dude with a happy attitude towards life.\u00a0 I hear he ended up a full time stay at home Dad to 6 kids, scraping by but happy.\u00a0 Whether we impacted that or not it doesn’t really matter.\u00a0 We provided a safe place for needy kids to be while they transitioned into adulthood.<\/p>\n
There isn’t a joke for this post.\u00a0 Its just another story in my crazy childhood.\u00a0 But I always felt any bible thumper demanding no sex education in schools and no choice when it comes to a woman’s decision to have kids had better be taking in foster kids or shutting the fuck up.\u00a0 Money where your mouth is, is all I’m saying…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
There are a lot of people who complain about social services and welfare.\u00a0 Ironically the people who complain the loudest seem to also have problems with people using or knowing about birth control and having the option of abortion.\u00a0 These … Continue reading
