Karissa told this story on dougs blog, but I'm gonna give you a short version as well... cause there are pics below to go along with it...
We went to grand forks to celebrate Doug graduating. We're outside havin' fun and this lady stops by with her 4 year old (mind you it is about 10:30) She is OBVIOUSLY very drunk, and he poor boy should be in bed but instead they are walking to the gas station to put air in his bike tires... anyway, she sits down, and stays for a LONG TIME. She's talkn' and telling us these stories of how she's beaten (she has scars) and the whole time she is outside, we have her 4 year old inside playing Game Boy. We offered him food and the mom says "go on boy, eat, you know we poor" so the kid eats some... anyway, Karissa leaves with Shandria to get air in the tires and she leaves her son with 5 complete drunk strangers. Luckily we're good people. Then finally at about 12:30am or so Karissa decides to get rid of Shandria and her 4 year old boy, named Izelle, so he can go home and at least get some sleep. Shandria INSISTS on helping us clean up... we give the boy a sandwich and some little smokies and send them on their way home. Karissa notices her camera is missing, so after looking everywhere, she decides to go over to Shandria's and ask her if she "accidentally" may have put it in her bag while cleaning. Tony goes with her... and the rest you can read on Doug's blog. Cause I don't know the whole thing. http://gravereflection.blogspot.com/2005/08/jungle-is-dark-but-full-of-diamonds.html#comments
But yeah, she stole the camera, and Karissa got it back, and there is a poor 4 year old that thinks this whole lifestyle is normal.

Thank you, and thank Karissa, I did not want to have to go through the whole story again. We need to have things happen to us that involve shorter stories.
