Funny kid story

Okay what is her secret anyway? Well today i was reminded of a funny story i thought i would share. As you all know i am a foster parent. Well i started such adventure when i was 25years old. My first placement were two little boys 6 and 8 years old. Hard to believe. I remember the social worker dropping of the two boys. they sat on my couch crying hysterically. The social worker had me sign something and then he was heading for the door. I was chasing after him asking where he was going and why was he leaving me so soon. What if they ran away? what do i do? OMG!!! Well just so you know we made it through the night with no problems. The next day was like christmas as we did not have any toys for these kids, i was set up to take infants. It was a lot of fun.

Anyway, the days had passed we all seemed to be in a rountine. The oldest child was doing homework in the dining room and i was in the kitchen with the youngest. Now mind you these kids came from a pretty rough background. I am busy making dinner and i can see the youngest child sitting at the table in the kitchen. Think nothing of it, he was coloring or drawing.

All of a sudden i turn around and there this little kid licking the magazine, a Victoria's Secret catalog!!!!!! Shocked, I asked him what he was doing. He put down the catalog and slinked away. One of those funny moments. I wonder where he is now. He has to be 16 now.
