Car Mysteriously Disappeared
I used to work 12 hours shifts on Saturdays and Sundays so, one night I came home wiped out. I went into DoDo’s room like I always do to let him know that I was home and to give him one of those great big I love you mama kisses. He said “I love you too ma” then I went and jumped in bed. Well, after being in bed for what I thought had been hours, I heard the doorbell ring. It was one of DoDo’s friends (Mark). Mark wanted to know if DoDo was at home and I told Mark yes but he was asleep. Then I happened to notice that my car was not in the driveway. Still half asleep I went running in DoDo’s room and notice that he wasn’t there and his phone was off the hook. Then I notice that the phone in the kitchen was off the hook also. And so, Mark and I both knew then what the deal was. I told Mark that I would tell DoDo that he stopped by. A little while later I heard the door open so, I jumped out of bed to put things back as he had left them. As soon as I heard him turn off the lights and got in bed. I went to his room and told him that it was one thing to take the car but if he was going to do that to not take the phones off the hook because if something would have happen to him. No one would be able to contact me. So, then he said, “Ma you are not mad about me taking the car”. I said no. I knew you had been taking it all the time. He asked me how did I know. I told him number (1) I used to be young and did the same thing and number (2) you never put any gas back in the car you bring it home almost empty (dead giveaway). Then I told him that Mark came by (busted him).
