So I'm sitting at my computer when the phone rings. "Hello. This is your grandson."
Cool. I got a bunch. "Which one is this?"
"I'll give you a hint. I'm your oldest."
"Well, its been a while. How you doing?"
"My friend Steven won a trip to Peru and invited me to join him. So I'm down here."
"Great, send me pictures. Sounds like fun."
"Sure thing. By the way I got a little problem. Nothing serious. But see my friend Steven and I got a ride from these other two people in the hotel and when the cops pulled us over there was some marijuana in the car. Now I need $1,500 to bail myself out. You know I'd never touch that stuff."
Oooops.
We are talking my oldest grandson here. We live in northern California. No way do I have a grand child who "has never touched the stuff." A couple of them have only done it once or twice, but absolutely none of them would tell me that lie.
"One sec. Uh, what is the name of your youngest sister?"
"Can't believe you'd ask me that. Don't you trust me?"
"What is your grandmother's name?"
"Don't you care I'm in trouble down here in Peru?"
When I told one of my grand daughters about it -- she works in a place where money can be wired -- she told me just a couple of days ago an old couple came in to wire $1,500 to their grandson in Peru. She tried to talk them out of it, told them it did not sound right to her, but they were adamant. Their grandson was in trouble and they were going to rescue him.
