We just finished dinner my son was at aboy scout trip and i had my two girls we just finished dinner and so i ask my oldest daughter Maria to take are dog to the bathroom. If i only knew i would have never told her to take are dog out. She had been gone for about 5 minutes so much happened in those 5 minutes. turns out there was someone the cops were looking for.

The cops thought he was bluffing so they said you wouldn't we have you corned. He said this and these were the last words i ever heard ok if thats what you think.
