Court

Lowri - This court is now in session.  All rise while I find the best seat.  Okay, now the court is going to prove beyond all doubt that TM (The Mama) picked up a baby cottontail in the carport and DID NOT feed it to me.  That is a direct violation of the Law.

TM - Wah wa wa wah?

Lowri - The Law of Lowri.  On page 136, it states that any bunny caught trespassing on the property should be immediately fed to Lowri. 

TM- Wah, wah wah.

Lowri - You want an attorney?  Okay.  The court appoints Kevin as the defendant's attorney.

TM - WHA!

Lowri - Just because he is my son doesn't mean he can't be impartial. 

How does the defendant plea?

Kevin - GUILTY.  May we move on to sentencing?

Lowri - Absolutely, unless TM wants to move on to a trial by my peers.  I can assure you that we invariably hand out heftier sentences.

TM - Wa wa wa wah.

Lowri - Evidence?  Kevin, sniff her hands.

Kevin - Oh yes, definitely a cottontail.  <sniff, sniff>  I would say about three weeks old.  TM set it free on the other side of the fence, where it promptly scampered away.

Lowri - Yup, guilty.  We sentence the defendant to a penalty of treats equal to the bunny's weight, or...

Kevin - EACH, each of us gets treats equal to the bunny's weight.

Lowri - Hmmm, yes, each of us will get treats equal to the bunny's weight, or a month of belly scritches to be performed immediately after work each night on each of us.

Kevin - Are you sure both don't apply?

Lowri - Well, it is her first offense.

  1. Hey, Penni Adrian, are you going to try for an appeal on behalf of TM? (Not that I think there are ANY reasonable grounds for an appeal!)

  2. She'll need to file a Notice of Appeal within 10 days and order the transcript to be filed with the Court. Not much chance for this one.
