My mom and dad adopted a family for Christmas this year. Paul was taking the kids to his mom's Firday night so I thought it would be fun to go along shopping with my mom and dad for the family.
It was about 10pm and we had been shopping for a good 5 hours. My mom and I decided to go walk down to Ross while my dad finshed checking out at Target. Ross is about 5 stores down in the strip mall. As we were walking down we saw a woman bending over tying her shoe. Nothing too crazy right. Well then this guy comes running up the sidewalk and GRABS HER PURSE from beside her and starts running down the sidewalk again. I was in shock at what had just happened and then....................my mom...................throws herself in front of the guy and says "Hey, what are you doing!!!!!!". I was in complete disbelief at this point. The guy threws his hands up and says he was just teasing the girl and that it was his wife! RELIEF. The woman was really grateful to my mom and said how awesome she was. :) As we walk away I burst into to tears. My mom had scared me so bad. I mean my dad is usualy the one we call Dudley Do Right. He is the one that gets riled up with idiot drivers or just disrespectful people in general. But to watch all 5 foot 4 inches of my mom get in this guys face was insane. I was such a wreck. It took a while for my legs to stop shaking and get the color back in my face. :0
Anyway, I called her the next morning and told her how I proud I am of her and she better not pull that crap again with me. :P I love my mom and am so veyr proud of her. Way to go Mom!!
