Spring time brings out the crazy in everyone

AH it’s that time of year again, time for the grass to start turning green, the trees to start budding, the temperature getting warmer and my grandmother getting a police escort down her street. What’s that you say? Grandma getting a police escort? Welcome once again the randomness that is my life.
Let me start off by giving you a little background on my grandmother, When my mom was a child my grandmother was abusive, she often tried to kill all of her kids, and no one knew why. Many years later my grandma was diagnosed with schizophrenia and Bi-polar disease. The doctors ended up putting her on some pretty potent medicine. The side effects of this medicine were not know until the last about 10 years. This stuff has made my grandma nuttier then squirrel poop( but in a good and funny way). Ok so now that I have set the background somewhat let me tell you what happened this weekend. On Sunday my grandmother was supposed to go eat lunch with her sister and her mother when she got a call from my Uncle Dave who happens to be the Lt. Chief of police in Lawrence (where my grandmother lives) he told her that she is going to see a bunch of police cars outside her house and to NOT go outside under any circumstance, Well the time came for my grandma to go eat and she was worried that her sister wouldn’t wait for her or that she would get confused so what does my grandma do? She gets ready and goes outside to look for her sister. Upon doing this a policeman promptly ran up to her and told her to go back inside because there was a guy across the street trying to kill his wife and steal there kids. But my grandma refused. The poor officer was trying to get her back into the house when she played the ultimate trump card..She said” My son is Lt. David Cobb and I will not be treated like this” when the cop asked “who” My grandma replied “Lt.David Cobb your boss now let me got to lunch with my sister.” So the police called the chief in who in turn had to call my uncle for verification. And when all was said and done my grandmother was escorted by the police to her sister’s car so she wouldn’t miss lunch.
I feel so sorry for my poor uncle Dave. He is going to get the ball busting of a lifetime today at work. If your ever interested in more of these stories..let me know I have a whole bunch of them. Many of them are the reasons my mom is embarrassed to show her face in Lawrence.
