That's Weird, Grandma
One day I was sent to court just because I “rob 10 jewlery stores.” I said I only stole 60 gems in each one. I got up my seat and grabbed my cup of water and throw it at the judges. I ran out of the court room as fast as I could. They ran so slow. I got in a police car and drive off they never got me.
