Saturday Funnies…”Dad’s Going To Prison!”

“Crosby, did Dad do something bad?”

“Why do you say that, Buddy?”

“Because yesterday I heard Mom tell Dad they had to get an early start, because they had a 3 hour drive to the prison! And then she gave him this shirt to wear that says he has to stay there for 25 years to life… that’s what bad people do!! Is it because he gave me salmon patè instead of salmon in gravy for dinner the night before? He called it “meatloaf” but I hated it and threw it up!”

“Crosby, Mom even has pictures of Dad in a prison cell!”

“And another one in the exercise yard!”

“Buddy, don’t worry… they were just visiting an old prison called Brushy Mountain State Penetentiary. It closed in 2009 but now you can tour it to see what it looked like when prisoners stayed there.”

“Wow, Crosby – this guy looks scary!”

“Did Dad punch him out? Is he going to get me? I’m gonna hide!”

“No, Buddy. He’s not going to get you. Come out from hiding – that is just a dummy wearing the uniform they wore over 100 years ago.”

“He sure was a dummy if he got caught and had to wear those silly striped pants. I better be good so I don’t have to wear them too!”

“You’re right, Buddy. Here’s the bus they would take you away in, so you better be good!”

“I think I will become Super Kitty now so nothing bad happens to me!”
