Guerrilla Gardening

Yesterday, my mother was arrested.

It wasn’t for robbing a convience store or anything like that. It was for “Guerrilla Gardening”.

She just got sick and tired of the way things were looking around town, so she and a few of her ice cream social girlfriends went out and started planting everywhere.

When the police showed up, she asked if they’d like to join her. They asked what she was doing. She wiped the sweat from her face and replied, “Guerrilla Gardening.” The simply cuffed her and drove off with her in the backseat.

She sat in the “clinker” for a good two hours, before they said she could leave if she paid the fine.

My mother is at it again, today. But this time, amidst the shovels and bulbs, she stashed a gun.
