I have a friend with an ex in prison, three children between the ages of 14 and 10 (I’m never quite sure the exact ages), a history of very dubious choices and a very sweet (but extremely malleable) personality. This friend and her children used to stop by the house five or six days out of the week. I saw them more than my daughters who live with their mother or my own siblings and their families.<\/p>\n
Then all of a sudden they stopped coming around. And I mean sudden. One week we saw them six straight days, then we saw them once in two weeks. Weird, but expected once she received her income tax return.<\/p>\n
What wasn’t expected was that she started dating someone whose sole attribute was described as “he’s wearing an ankle bracelet and she doesn’t even know what he was in for.”<\/p>\n
Granted I don’t know what most women look for in a man, but I would think that ‘Has an electronic tether on his ankle’ would NOT rank very high on the list of desired attributes.<\/p>\n
I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that I know how this story is going to end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
