Well.
Despite having plenty of things to do, I am not doing them. I am sitting here to share a tale with all of you.
On Wednesday night a 12 year old boy went to the park with a friend. He was suposed to be home around 7:30. At approximately 7:45 his mother got a call from the police dept. that he had been bitten by a dog, but had refused medical care, so no official presence was dispatched to the scene. The concerned mother asked where her son was, and where this had happened, but was told that dispatch did not know. Near his home the boy had said. So she jumped in her car and went looking for him. When the boy was located, he was fairly shaken up, and told his mother, in a confused and sporadic way, of riding his skateboard down the street, seeing the dog, being attacked and knocked off the board, getting up, knocked down again, and bitten. People heard his yells and came to help, catching the dog, calling the authorities etc. He was just leaving the place this had happened.
Mother and son went home, cleaned the wound, called the ER for advice on treatment, and then returned to the scene to make sure the dog was going to remain incarcerated until Animal Control picked it up.
After a conversation with the people who had custody of the dog, the mother, having a suspicious nature, called back to dispatch to confirm what she had been told, and found that yes, the story checked out, and everyone was aware of where the dog was.
A quick trip for ice cream -medicinal, to calm the nerves- mother and child returned home, and life continued it's journey forward.
Everyone is doing well, the young man is sore, but not too traumatized, the dog and owner are paying the price for the sad series of events. However, the mother is still a bit upset by something in this story.
Can you figure out why she is upset?
