The Art of Almost Getting Arrested
… at a Parade!
Once upon a time (last week)
I went to a parade in a faraway land! (just down the street actually)
There were bands,
Babies …
Burglars …
And more … And somewhere in there I managed to score.
For a $10 bill, I shot up like a hurdler … I jumped off the sidewalk and …
… Hugged the Hamburglar!
He was squishy and scared. Just look at his face. He started to run … like it was a race.
The parade wound down,
With coppers and crowds,
Next year they’ll be back, but I won’t be allowed.
And they all lived happily ever after.
The end.
(Yeah. There’s very little I won’t do for a buck. Actually, there’s very little I won’t do for a ham sandwich.)
Oh … and inferring I almost got arrested may have been a bit of an exaggeration. I embarrassed my mother though. That ought to count for something.

I’d hug you for a twenty. And your mother for free.

I always look forward to the parade, it seems to get bigger and bigger every year. Great pics Karen! P.S. Estelle is such a cutie!

That was GREAT! I was sitting here getting grumpy and that made me smile. Happy $10!

You didn’t mug the burglar to get the tenner did ya? LOL :)

the question is, did they ticket you? or just kick you out of all future parades?

True story. When I was 14 I found $100 floating in the ocean. In Australia our bills are plastic which is awesome because they don’t get ruined in the wash or…ocean.
I took my friends out for lunch with it & had change left over (ahhh the good old days)
It is still the greatest day of my life. I am not even sure my boyfriend proposing 2 days ago tops that day.

Gasp! Congratulations. On both the $100 and the proposal! (even though technically speaking you’re not supposed to congratulate the bride … only the groom). Good job on cuttin’ one from the herd.
