Jamel is here

My neighbor's grandson is here for thr summer. The grandmas had to go to a Gay Rights benefit dinner on Saturday and they asked me to watch Jamel. They gave me 60 bucks for dinner,a movie and my baby sitting fee.

I asked Jamel where he wanted to go for dinner. "Mexican, Vietnamese, Chinese, Pizza?"

"How about Applebees?" I said as I noticed his eyes begin to glaze over.

He put his hand to his chin and pretended to seriously consider my suggestions. "I was thinking Nation's, hmmm..., or MacDonald's" he said slyly.

"Well which is it?" I asked, hoping against hope he would say Nation's.

He put his hand to his chin again, and said, "Hmmm, let's see, I think, MacDonald's. I can eat MacDonald's every day!"

We had a great weekend. Someone was shooting a gun right outside on the street and Jamel frantically called 911 on his cell phone. The next day we were walking a trail across the street and found a guy passed out and curled up in a fetal position. We weren't sure if it had anything to do with the gun shots so we called the police again, but not the emergency number.
