SARAH
Mom you know I’m in class
SARAH THIS IS IMPORTANT
I promise you’ll love me for it
Mom I have to love you anyway
But you actually will!
Okay what’s up
I’m across the street from my job and this guy is giving away puppies!
And Sara...
There’s a golden retriever in here...
WHAT
I SAID THERE’S A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
No I understood the message I was just in shock!
MOM YOU HAVE TO GET ONE
YOU DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THAT DOG
Baby I’m trying but there’s a catch!
You have to get 3 matches in a row with some cards he has on the table
I may not get one in time :(
BRB quitting school to come help
NO! You stay in class I got this!
Mom if you don’t get this me this dog I’ll never speak to you again
SARAH THAT’S NOT FAIR
It’s a tough world out there mom. Life isn’t fair sometimes
Wait aren’t these homeless puppies?
Why is this guy making it difficult for puppies to get a good home?
That doesn’t matter anymore Sarah
All I know is that puppy needs to come home with me
How hard could it be to get 3 matches some cards on a table?
They have to be in a row AND every person only gets one shot.
Okay mom it’s okay just take deep breaths.
I believe in you, okay?
Thanks sweety. I’ll keep you updated.
SARAH I HAVE TWO MATCHES IN A ROW I’M TERRIFIED
MOM YOU CAN DO THIS
I DON’T THINK I CAN
JESSICA MARIE GRANT. YOU WILL WIN THAT DOG AND YOU WILL DO IT NOW
I’M YOUR MOTHER DON’T USE THAT TONE WITH ME
Haha, sorry mom. It was my only chance so I took it.
Mom I haven’t heard anything back from you
Mom what happened?!
ANSWER ME WOMAN
Sarah I took the dog
I took the dog and I’m leaving
What?! SO YOU WON?! :D
No Sarah I said I took the dog
I gotta get on the interstate before the guy catches up to me
...
Sarah say something to me
. . .
SARAH TELL ME I’M A GOOD PERSON
Mom explain what’s happening
I just...I don’t know I panicked?
Everything happened so fast
One second I was flipping over the last card
The next second I was hiding a golden retriever under my coat as I ran back to the car
it was a roller coaster of emotions
Mom you can’t just steal a puppy! You have to go back!
What? No! That’s how you get caught!
All you have to do is give it back!
I’m sure it can just blow over as a misunderstanding! :D
But Sarah...
It felt good
Mom stop joking around
Sarah you don’t understand
It was...such a rush
SUCH A THRILL
Mom I don’t understand
You’ve changed...
I don’t know who you are anymore.
Sarah he’s behind me
Who?!
The man from across work
He caught up to me n we’re stuck in traffic!
Mom you are being ridiculous!!!
You can’t do this!!
But I’m not TECHNICALLY driving
I meant the dog!
You can’t just keep the dog!
Sarah he’s getting out of his car
GOOD
He’s on his way to mine! :((
I’m not bailing you out
SARAH THAT’S NOT FUNNY
I’m just saying mom
you know the right thing to do
But what if I get away?
The traffic could clear up
He’ll never see me again
MOM
Okay okay!
What’s gotten into you?
Why are you acting like this!
Sarah I messed up okay?
You’ve just been so busy lately
So in your own world
I been trying for months to get through to you
Mom seriously? Is that what this is about?
:(
Mom I’m a senior in high school
Like one of the busiest times of my life
I know I know. I just feel like I’m losing you already :(
Mom stop you’re gonna make me cry
you’re not losing me I promise
And you definitely didn’t have to try and steal a dog!
I’m sorry Sarah. but you’re my only kid
It’s gonna be tough letting you go
I don’t want you to let me go mom
I’m always gonna need you
awww :) thanks Sarah
I needed to hear that
Good. I’m glad it helped
You got me all teary-eyed in class
Wait what happened with the guy and the dog?!
Oh he came and left already
What?! What happened??
Nothing really
He knocked like ‘wtf?!’
I said my bad
Called it a misunderstanding
It all blew over pretty well actually
Phew. Wow
You had me worried there mom
Right? Me too
Good thing I hid the beagle in the trunk.
