A Threat that Works

Yesterday I was going through a stack of papers on my counter and came across an envelope from U.S. District Court. Mr. BBM received a jury summons a couple weeks ago and he was supposed to fill it out and send it back within 10 days or else he would be deported or something.

I cautiously opened the envelope to find that he had yet to send it back. Fantastic.

So, before I left to take Big I to ju-jutsu I wrote him a note with a couple post-it's and a black Sharpie and left it on the middle of the kitchen island. The note said:

"Fill this out NOW before I'm a single Mom and you're trying to avoid picking up the soap in the community shower."

It's in the mail today.
