Goldilocks and crim pro

This morning one of the commissioners I regularly appear before decided to explain the criminal process to some 11 year old using the analogy of Goldilocks and the three bears. Naturally, at the break, I had to goof on her:

"These handcuffs are tooooo loose!"

"These handcuffs are tooooo tight!"

"These handcuffs are juuuust right!"

Turn around to find some parent staring at me in disbelief. Hey, do this for a while and see if you start to think this way...

Like the guy in our chemical dependency treatment program who could not understand why we asked him not to wear the belt with the marijuana leaf on it. "But it's a cool belt, man." Yeah, if you're a POT HEAD. You are supposed to be in recovery and support others in their recovery too. Take off your belt if you are coming to group. And don't let your pants sag. None of us want see that. Cheers!
