- Thread starter Larry Gude
- Start date
I get that answer, but it doesn't hold any water. "Got to do better than that boy. Now tel me, ..."Pete said:Me too, and don't ever answer me with : "I don't knowwwwwwwww"
Larry Gude
Strung Out
The girls got stamina...
4:30 to now...4:15 minutes.
We brought in reinforcements; Bio mom and boyfriend whom #3 adores (they call him 'Elvis'.
Hour one...a river in Africa: Denial.
Suspect sweated, presented with evidence to refute fairy tail.
Hour two through three; suspect, cries, sobs, feels like vomiting, unresponsive, no words, just tears and piles of snot rags.
Begining hour four: Dawn on the horizon.
Rest of hour, ownership, contrition, phoned aplogies, feeling MUCH better, she, healing, day one of NO LYING TO THE OLD MAN EVER AGAIN.
The story;
Her big deal was twofold; to not be seen as having stolen and #2 CYA (will this cost me my party?
Nobody sees it as stealing per se; a prank gone wrong. The facts, she was rumaging through cuz's purse as they do with each others stuff, see's $60 grabs it "ohh! You have $60!!!' shoves in pocket to feign stealing. Cuz laughs but missed the in the pocket part. Forgets to give back at end of joke period, joke that cuz does not know is ongoing.
So, #3's explanation 'well, she saw me put it in my pocket and that's my story because otherwise, I might lose my party!'
Authorities: "You've already lost party. Sharing blame, eh? Ever seen the 'Onion Field'? What else you got? How about a better story because your cuz would NEVER let you hang if she could help it. When come truth?"
Deny
Deny
Cry
Cry.
Finally: 'yep, I took it and now that you mention it, I can see how it MIGHT look like stealing and I was trying to coverup the whole thing in order to not lose my party.
Yes, the lie is worse than the crime.
Tear jerker phone calls of apology to cuz, aunt and uncle and the friend wrongly accused. Oddly, she felt MUCH better after making the calls, as we'd, can you beleive it, predicted.
Day 1 of no lying.
No party. No phone. No 'net for 6 years. then she's 19 and can do as she pleases.
Hugs and tears all around.
Hope for tomorrow.
I'm spent, thanks all for support, night all.

You and Vrai both need a drink. You know where to find the best crab cakes. We'll be there. I'll buy your drinks; you deserve it.Larry Gude said:4:30 to now...4:15 minutes.

You done good. 
#1, she stole the money.
#2, she lied to us. Looked me straight in my face and said, "I swear I'm telling the truth!" I said, "No, you're not. I know you're lying. You know you're lying. Look at me. Tell me the truth."
Cry cry cry. Deny deny deny. Bebe Mama shows up and she has never seen our young criminal so upset - tears and snot are flying. Larry and Elvis whisk Bebe Mama out on the deck and give her a beer before she can break ranks. I start to make tacos because I'm not sure what else to do, plus middle daughter is starving. I tell young criminal, "You can make this end. Let me know when you're ready."
An hour later, she's ready.
She took the money from her cousin's purse without her cousin's knowledge. She stole. Then she spent 4 hours lying about it, swearing she was innocent.
Larry stood over her while she made her phone calls. I say, "Emilie, at some later date you can have your party. Who gets to decide when that party will take place?" She hesitates, the light comes on, she hangs her head and says, "Me," in a little voice.
We shall see.
Just made big sister aware of the Em situation. You want to talk about pissed??? She went from stunned disbelief to outrage in about 5 seconds. I gave her the heads up so she'll give the appropriate response when Emilie calls her this afternoon.
She will.
She will.

So she won't listen to any of her sister's horseshit?
This is our version of my Mom making me call my grandfather - the big guns. This will be Emilie's first test. Kyle knows everything that happened. Let's see if Emilie tells the truth or tries to spin it.Oz said:So she won't listen to any of her sister's horseshit?
If she tries that, we'll be talking Nagasaki. Kyle is horrified that Emilie would steal, let alone lie about it. I felt bad for Kyle because Em is her baby and her darling and she is highly disappointed.Sharon said:

Disappointment in other people is a trait she might as well learn to embrace now.vraiblonde said:
So is it over with tonight? I am a believer that once eveything is done and over the record is sealed and everything starts fresh. I would say striken but I would have to have this filed away for any similar occurance later on.
It is here in the very public record. Of course the thread could be deleted or archived, but I think that would be a shame. It should be re-titled as "How to be good parents" and made a sticky in this forum for all to see. Larry and Vrai, you did very well.
