Badder

“Bad” and “Badder” are sisters.  Each claims to be the “good girl” and each proclaims her sister to be the “bad girl”.  I see them as varying shades of “bad”.

Badder is incarcerated at DuPage County Jail for Violation of Probation due to her being kicked out of the court-ordered rehab facility related to her third DUI.  She also has an upcoming battery case on July 28.

Visting her this afternoon, she is complaining about being in Jail.

Badder:  “I’m so tired of being here.  All I do is lay on a mat on the floor and watch TV!”

Mike: “But, honey, all you did at home was lay on the couch and watch TV!  What’s the difference?”

Badder: “I want pizza!” 

Another Saturday Visit to Badder

Visiting Badder in DuPage County Jail today, she mentions her tummy-tuck.

Mike: “Honey, are you happy with your tummy-tuck?”

Badder:  “Of course!  It changed my life!”

I grimace and lean back, surveying the scene of thick glass, prison blues, and bad girls everywhere talking to crying parents.

Badder explodes in laughter.

Yes, a tummy-tuck has changed her life!
