Second Chance

By Jennifer Allison

 

It was time for sentencing of the four Dalton Boys.

The four boys had been caught vandalizing the local high school. This act of violence was the last of a long list of crime committed by these boys.

The judge was about to pass sentence after listening to their mother plead for her boys.

"I know I did a very rotten job and raising my children. I know I could do better job if given a second chance."

"I have reached my decision. Boys please stand to hear my verdict.

"John Dalton, I sentence you to six months.

"Timothy Dalton, I sentences you to two years.

"Robert Dalton, I sentence you to three years.

"Richard Dalton, I sentence you to four years.

Mrs. Dalton screamed at the judge. "Why did you sentence my youngest to the longest term."

"I didn't. Mrs. Dalton I am giving you a second chance at raising your children better. You can take your daughters home with you now."

This picture was taken of the four Dalton boys right after Mrs. Dalton turned around. She found four girls aged 4, 3, 2 and 6 months.

"Since they didn't turned out very well as boys I thought they should try it as girls this time. Their sentences now match their new age."
