I went to jail…
I went to one of the schools I tutor at today. The teacher that is in charge of the class likes to joke around, and told his students offhandedly that I was arrested and put in jail during the spring break. The kids were like, “Really? For what?” and he was like “Ask her”, and walked away.
So in this situation, I usually claim innocence and just shrug it off and tell them he was kidding. But…that’s kind of boring right? I wish I was wittier.
So the kids turned to me and were like
Kids: So…what did you do?!?!
Me: Oh! I downloaded music. <my slow nodding tight mouthed all knowing tough face>
Kids: That’s it? Just music…. <kids are stunned>
…
One kid: Was it limewire?!?!
Man…..are kids that easy to trick??
So I’m walking around the tables, looking over their work, seeing if anyone needs help…and once in awhile a kid would be like
Kid: Were you really in jail??
Me: no…..i’m just kidding…
Kid: Yeah, you didn’t go to jail…they just sued you right??!?
…although I did tell them the time my ISP contacted me and said that they were asked to turn us in for downloading….stuff….and it wasn’t even me!! It was my dear brother. And they gave us a warning and told us to stop. That’s right. And now I’m an angel. kek….kek….
And then after another while, a kid said
Kid: You weren’t really in jail….
Me: Yeeeeeah, I wasn’t
Kid: You can’t go to jail for just downloading music….everyone does it…
Well, I’m glad our future generation of kids have a strong sense of justice. The moral of the story is:
If everyone does it, you can’t go to jail.

I disavow all knowledge of aforementioned events.
Good story though…I would have followed it up with how you were caught up in an international espionage case once, you’re wanted in 3 States and 4 countries, and that your real name isn’t Cathy.
