lol on the devious mind. I never got into any trouble, was always too afraid to try anything. I did however have a male roommate, platonic, who was in and out of juvi homes in his younger days and boy, the stories he told me.

All I can say is I am glad I did not know him then as we would have never been friends. this friend and a few of his guy friends kind of took me in as a little sister and taught me my street smarts. Which I guess is a good thing as I have no brothers.
Two of the funny stories I HAVE to share. Once his mom told him to clear the grass from the back yard so they could put up an above the ground pool. He decided it was too much work with live grass so he poured gasoline ALL over the back yard, a friend of his was mad at his mom and grabbed the can and ran. OF course while gas was still pouring from the can and threw a match.

Half the block was on fire.
When he was in a boys home in Wheaton IL, of all places.. A place called Sunny something boys home... he took off with a bunch of the boys in one of the new vans and they were doing burn outs or brake torks ( I think that is what they are called) up and down the road right in front of the place. I think they ruined the trans.
He's in his 50's now and no longer in trouble.... He and his friends from his teens had quite a few jaw dropping stories.... these were the two that stuck out most.
The one time I was even close to LE, the officer said everyone is getting arrested but her and pointed to me. I was very nice, everyone else was smart mouthing him.
I knew about the dog thing because sadly, my friends brother was dredging ?? gold or something in South America for awhile. Being the only white american the locals were not happy and poisoned his beautiful great dane.
sorry about the OT.
