5 August 2013 The Crazy Family Many people have crazy families. No one really knows how your family is until they live a couple days in your shoes.

One rainy night about ten years ago they had not seen or herd from her in weeks, then they get a call from the cops at two a.m. The cops called my dad and said if he didn't come get her, she was going to be arrested on
