110 ~ Cowboy Escapade

By Kay Heitsch

In a lock-in facility, the doors will open if you push on them hard enough. However, an alarm will sound.

One day, I was sitting in "L"'s room with her as she was watching one of her favorite movies. All of a sudden, I heard the alarm go off.

"L"'s room was facing the front door, so I could see people come and go. I walked over to the window and saw one of the men residents, wearing a cowboy hat, running as fast as he could, with several of the girls who worked there chasing him.

As he ran, his pants were falling down! He had remembered the hat, but forgot to put on his belt!

Before he reached the road, he had to stop because his pants were now at his ankles.

The police had been called, and one of the officers helped our "cowboy" in the backseat of the patrol car.

As they pulled up to the front door, I saw our "cowboy" with the biggest grin on his face. I smile every time I think about this cowboy escapade. He sure had added some excitement to our day.
