A little humor…my last foster home…..
May 23, 2009
I like to look at things from the humorous perspective. My last foster home was memorable for several reasons. We had two dogs; Shaggy and Teddy and both liked to float around the above ground pool on rafts. We had a cat also, we inherited her when some teenagers threw dye into our above ground pool (blue and green) and then tossed a kitten into the pool. The kitten woke up the entire family screaming and we rescued her from the pool, she became our pet. Those where the days, seems like so long ago. My favorite song was “I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy” and “miss american pie”. I always put on shows for my foster family and would dance and sing the latest hot songs!
The last home does make me smile, a little bit of humor really as I recall the first introductions. Back then the social worker would bring you to the home of the perspective family and you would have some bonding time. You know how children can be so honest? There I was, me and my little brother, the social worker, two dogs and the potential new parents when I blurt out; “you are having a baby, I will have a sister or brother?” I’m surprised that this couple still took me in since she wasn’t pregnant, she told me she was just fat! Can you imagine!

Got something to say?
Just shocking.
I know, needless to say that was the first and last time I ever asked someone that question!
