Judge Judy Part 2

In case you missed PART 1.

I wanted to wait until Joe woke up (he works nights) so that both of us could discuss this together with Tall so I impatiently waited for him to get up....

1:00pm- His normal waking time.....still sleeping...

2:00pm- He can't possibly still be sleeping!  Doesn't he know I need to talk to him??

3:00pm- Is he breathing up there??  Didn't the slamming of the microwave several times wake him?

3:30pm-Omg get up already Joe!

3:40pm-I heard the floor creak...yes!

3:43pm-"Why did you sleep this long?" "We have a problem!!"

Joe:  I had over-time.

Me: Oh...Agrah!

Joe:  So what is going on?

Me:  Well Tall slept at Kelsey's house and said that he was sleeping at Brian's.

Joe:  I thought it sounded odd that he was sleeping at Brian's.

Me:  Me too...that's why I started checking about found out!

Joe:  How?

Me:  I looked at the phone records!

Joe:  Ohhhhhh.....ummm.

Me:  We need to talk to him.

So we go to the family room and call for Tall.  He sits down with an obvious attitude.....oh no he doesn't!

We argued with him for at least an hour....

We didn't get anywhere....

Tall seemed to think that he didn't do anything wrong...

Tall walked away in a huff....

We sat there stressed out...

Tall didn't look at us or talk to us the rest of the day...

He didn't talk to us the next day either...

On Tuesday I said that we needed to talk...again..

Tall starts off by saying that he was sorry and that he would never do it again....

I asked him why he hasn't tried talking to us...he said we didn't try to talk to him!

He hugged us both and for a minute the world was okay again..

I would love to believe him and so I have to give him the benefit of the doubt...

Hopefully this story will end on Part 2 and Part 3 is never to be written...

You will be the first to know...

Judge Judy

8:45pm Saturday
Tall: Mom can I sleep at Brian's?  Joey is going to.

Me:  Brian who?

Tall:  Brian Jameson

Me:  I didn't know you talked to him anymore....but yes, I guess so.

11:30pm Saturday

Grande:  (just got home from work)....Where's Tall?

Me:  Sleeping at Brian's house.

Grande:  Brian?

Me:  Yes Brian....hummm....that does sound kinda odd...he doesn't talk to Brian anymore and he hasn't been to his house in 2 years!

10:00am Sunday
I look at our Verizon account online and look at who Tall has talked to last....if he really did sleep at Brian's house then he would have text his girlfriend Kelsey several hundred times...right?

Not one text after 9:00pm Saturday...that's over 12 hours and not one text to/from her.

Me:  (Texting Tall)....I am going to be driving past the Jameson's...should I pick you up?

Tall:  umm no we are going to church soon they will bring me home after that

Me:  U don't have clothes for church

Tall:  im just going as i am i always use to when i went with them

Me:  I can bring some over

Tall:  we already left its fine i'll be home around lie 12 12:15

Me:  U said u were leaving soon.  I'll text Carol (Brian's Mom) to make sure she doesn't mind u going like that

Tall:  nevermind they are dropping me off real soon im with joey not Carol!

Me:  Ur not telling the truth.  I'm calling Carol.

Tall:  mom what is your problem

Me:  U didn't stay @ Brian's!

Tall:  yes i did

Me:  Ok I'll call Carol to make sure

Tall:  why are you making this such a big deal you put a lot of trust into me

Me:  cause u r lying

Tall:  okay im with kelsey now that was the only thing i was lying about she got me earlier because we wanted to hangout before she had work

Me:  U r lying!  U did not stay @ Brian's cause I checked!  Get ur a** home cause u r grounded forever!

Tall:  how did u check?

Me:  Get home now!

Less then 5 minutes later and he walks through the door.  The look on his face was priceless....like wow how did she figure it out...and damn I'm busted!

Tall:  Okay..so I stayed at Kelsey's...what's the big deal??

Me:  Your 17!  You have no business staying at any girls house!!

Tall:  I've known her for a year and I didn't think it was that big of a deal!

Me:  Well it is! If its not that big of a deal then why did you lie about it?

Tall:  Because you would have never left me go!

Me:  So its better that you lied..and got caught and now your in big trouble?

Tall:  It was worth the risk. 

Me:  Worth the risk?  So you are grounded forever and you don't seem to care?  Where was her Mom?  Her sister?

Tall:  Her Mom is out of town and her sister was away for the night.

Me:  So you guys were home alone all night?

Tall:  Yes.  We didn't even sleep in the same bed together and we didn't have sex!  (hmmm really?  then what was all THIS about??)

Me:  Omg and you think its ok that you lied and slept there?

Tall:  Okay maybe I shouldn't have lied but you would have said no and I wanted to spend time with her because I love her.

Me:  Exactly!  So why do you think it was okay to do it then?

Tall:  I don't know but everyone lies.

Me:  But its not okay to lie...especially to your parents...and you said in your text about trusting you so how can I trust you now?

Tall:  I guess you can't.

Me:  Wow...you don't even seem to care that you lied and your not owning up to what you did!

Tall:  I'm going upstairs.

10 minutes later

Me:  (texting Tall who is upstairs)....How about if I tell Kelsey's Mom?

Tall:  Ok

Tall:  there.  I just broke up with her  I guess this will settle everything thanks the girl I love is no longer in my life

Me:  Don't blame me for ur mistakes

Tall:  ok well you can ground me forever but i now dont have the best thing in my life anymore

Me:  That's ur decision

Tall:  i cant date someone i cant see thanks really its fine

Me: Then u really don't love her cause I don't know anyone that breaks off a relationship because they r grounded!

Tall:  no its not the fact im grounded but its fine she is crying and there is nothing i an do dont worry about it mom and dont tell me who i love ever

Me:  What?  U r being ridiculous!  U don't care who u hurt!

Tall:  k mom

Me:  U brought this all on yourself and ur the only one that can fix it

Tall:  there is nothing to fix we are done now end of story

Me:  And again, u don't love her then and if u don't want to fix it then it is the end of the story

Tall:  i know its the end of the story

To be continued....
