Death of a Snowman

MUG SHOT
Name: Olivia Rebecca Curtis DOB 11/20/06
Charges: Theft, Consumption of Private Property
Property of Shelby County Corrections Facility

I almost forgot to tell you about an incidence that occurred right before Christmas--it's way too cute to pass up. Okay, so Devin LOVES making crafts and had the ingenious idea of making a snowman out of miniature marshmallows. Devy took great pride in constructing the snowman with twigs for arms and secured with a twig drilled through the center of the body--usually protruding out the top of the head. It was Devin's hope to send an intricately designed snowman to each grandparent for their Christmas present. Great detail was put into creating the facial features using various crayola markers and only selecting the most perfect twigs for body parts. Devin completed the project with much satisfaction and eagerly anticipated the look on his grandparents' faces when they received his remarkable gift. Unfortunately, Devin made one grave error--he mistakenly placed "Mr. Snowman" on the counter within reach of imminent danger; aka Olivia Curtis. So there sat poor Mr. Snowman, helpless in the presence of a 2 year old girl with a massive sweet tooth. Little did he know he would soon meet his demise.

Suddenly, from the kitchen comes a loud shriek followed by dramatic sobs. I rush into the kitchen to find an inconsolable Devin holding the only remnants of "Mr. Snowman"--two twigs. The scene was ugly as the wailing continued. "LuLu ate my snoooooowman! Naughty, naughty LuLu!" On and on and on the sobs continued as I quickly tried to assemble another snowman for him to decorate. Fortunately, I have before and after pictures as evidence. Due to the graphic nature of these pictures, VIEWER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED.

As the evidence shows, the perpetrator was caught red handed and is now being held in the custody of her loving Mama. Charges are still pending.
