Never ask me to write something for you

Yesterday one of my buddies who’s in High School asked me to write a “Testimonial” about him for his English class. He said he needed an “Adult” to write it, and evidently I fall in that category. I asked if it had to be about something real and he said not necessarily. The following I wrote in about 15 minutes. I doubt he’ll ask me to write about him again.

 
 

Brandon Sweeney may very well be the worst person I have ever met.

There was a time not to very long ago when I was minding my own business at work, rescuing kittens that had been abused by their previous owners when Brandon screwed it all up. I had just found a little tabby cat that had lost his left eye due to a stupid kid with a BB gun. I was smuggling her away from the abusive home without the owners’ knowledge when Brandon called my cell phone. Of course it was the one time I forgot to mute my phone before breaking and entering someone’s house; and when my Boys II Men ring tone went off it woke the family whose house I was in. The little boy who had shot the cat came out of his bedroom rubbing the sleep out of his eyes with one hand and cocking his BB gun with the other.

If it had just been the little boy who had woken, I think would have been able to get away and save the cat with little problem; but when he woke up, so did his dad, and he was more than just a little upset about me being in his house.

The dad started swearing and swinging the fireplace poker that he had picked up on his way through the living room, and the little boy started shooting me with his BB gun. I almost made it through the kitchen window, but my foot slipped on the sink and I fell and hit my head.

When I came to, I was in the hospital with a lot more bruises than I had before I had passed out and a policeman standing at the end of the bed.

 
 

The poor little kitten still continues to live in that horribly abusive home, and now I’m in prison.

Thanks a lot Brandon. I hate you.
