My mother told me there'd be days like this.
She said to me.

"My son, I love you with my whole being.
Do not forget my words, but let your heart keep my commands."

"When your hoodlum running mates entice you, do not consent.
If they say:"


'Come with us. Let us lie in wait and target
helpless women. We'll snatch their purses,
and run swiftly away.'

"My son, do not walk in the way with them.
Keep your foot far from their path."

"For their feet run to evil,
and they make hast to hurt innocent women,
without respect to them, and their families."

But plumb-dumb me...I didn't listen to my mother.
We were on a rampage. We snatched purses every night.

Eventually all of us except me had gotten caught.
All of them were in jail.

But that didn't stop me.
One night I thought...
Tonight I'm going out there by myself.
So I did.

I lurked In the darkness just outside of a local pharmacy.
I hadn't waited very long before...there...she exited the
pharmacy and walked hastefully across the dimly-lighted parking lot.

BINGO...I thought...I'm paid in full.

I dashed from behind her and grabbed her purse.
She screamed. She fell. Her body hit the ground,
with a deadly sounding thump.

I didn't even bother to look back.
I got what I wanted. That was all that mattered.
I was out of there.

Minutes later...I was in a dark alley hiding behind a smelly dumpster.
I huffed and I puffed for a few.

Then I opened the purse to see what my prize was.

WOW! What I found was my dreadful SURprise.

When I opened the wallet...the first thing that I saw was...
Mom's picture on her Driver License.

I BLACKED OUT.

It wasn't until early the next morning that I came to.

There must have been a million flies swarming around the dumpster.

But not ONE...seem to care to come near me.

Author Notes
"Crying my heart out...I went directly to the police department...and turned myself in.
Mom turned out to be okay. She had always been a tough cookie. Crying her heart out...she came directly to the jailhouse...to see about her baby boy."
