WAFFLES: Hey Boss! Do you think Glogirly will get to meet Judge Judy today???
KATIE: Waffles, what on EARTH are you wearing???
WAFFLES: It's my Judge Judy outfit! Glogirly said she gets to be a jury duty person today so I'm practicing to be a judge. Want me to judge you?
KATIE: What I want is for you to take off those ridiculous things that look like Ho-Ho's on your head.
WAFFLES: Those aren't Ho-Ho's. That's my WIG.
KATIE: Ok, same answer. What I want is for you to take off that ridiculous WIG that looks like a bunch of Ho-Ho's on your head.
WAFFLES: Maybe Judge Judy likes Ho-Ho's. Did you ever think of that?
KATIE: Fine. Go ahead and play "Judge Judy." But leave me out of this.
WAFFLES: Order in the court! Order in the Court! I'll take a bucket of chicken, original recipe...and a big side of extra gravy.
KATIE: If this is the future of our justice system, we're doomed.
That's right. Glogirly received her official summons last month and today is the day. She's managed to go her entire life without being called for jury duty. Ok, so she was safe for the first 18 years. But only a couple of years in Colorado and they've found her!
Truth be told, she's rather curious about the whole thing. She probably thinks it will be all dramatic and stuff, like on TV. But she's also a little nervous she could be put on a lengthy trial or worse yet, sequestered. (Though the chances of that are extremely slim.) After all, she's got CATS to feed. And play with. And sleep with. And watch movies with.
My human says it will be really, really boring. Bring a book, or be prepared to goof around on social media for most of the day.
ReplyDeleteOur mommy had to go one time years ago in her home state only to not be put on a trial.
ReplyDeleteIt was boring in the room. It was even more boring during the jury selection process.
ReplyDeleteMom got called and served one time in Vegas. It took two and a half days. Free lunches! She was foreman of the jury and the last day serving was her birthday. She got a cupcake that day after lunch, the other jurors sang happy birthday, and the judge told her happy birthday as they were dismissed from duty. She didn't mind it to much, found it interesting.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....if Judge Waffles had been the judge in that case she may have gotten a birthday heaved bonk, or even a birthday snuggle!
A birthday head bonk, sorry I had a paw slip!
Deletegood luck. our mom has gotten called a couple of times but never put on a jury - so it was just a lot of time spent sitting around being bored
ReplyDeleteMum said she got called eons ago but never sat on a jury. Sat around being bored, so she read books and such.
ReplyDeleteI've been called for four jury duties, and was picked for one. It's about time to be called again; they seem to go in a cycle for me. I'm throwing myself on the mercy of Waffle's court! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHope she had a good day at court!

Hopefully, they won't need Glogirly and she'll just have the one day sitting around being bored.
ReplyDeleteBORING~ No chicken and waffles. TW gets called every couple of years and the worst was grand jury where she had to report 3 days a week for a couple of months.
