It was a simple case of robbery where the lawyer was trying to prove his point to the judge. He had already said everything but he wanted everyone to appreciate him so he brought another witness to clear his point. He asked Granny Sylvia come to the witness box and started asking her questions.
“Do you know me Granny Sylvia,” he asked.
“Yes I know you, piglet,” Granny answered at the top of her voice since she thought it was necessary to raise your voice to answer all the questions.
“Granny, please don’t mention the nick name, it’s a court,” he lawyer said.
“All right, Mr. Henson, but I must tell you that I love calling you Piglet,” granny said and giggled loudly.
“Granny please stick to the question,” the lawyer said as everyone in the courtroom started laughing at him.
“Sure, I know you Mr., Henson ever since you were in the womb of your mother kicking her hard to come outside. You troubled her lot even outside her womb. I must tell everyone that you cheated and snatched money from people. You hit on every single girl that came your way though no one really liked you. Oh, you were so ugly when you were a kid.”
The lawyer got embarrassed and thought it would be better to move on to the next question. He put on a serious face and asked, “Do you know the defense lawyer, Mr.Clarkson?”
“What kind of silly question is that, I know him since he is my next door neighbor? He had been living in the same neighborhood ever since he learnt to walk. He never comes home sober and has never had a stable relationship with any women. He got married twice and now he has a full-fledged love affair going on with your wife. However, you must know that he has an off and on relationship with three another women who lives nearby,” granny explained.
Everyone was giving a dirty look to the defense lawyer who always pretended to have a good character.
The lawyer was just about to ask the next question when the judge interrupted him and asked both the counselors to come a step closer. He took a deep breath and said, “You morons, don’t you dare ask her anything about me.”
No doubt, people get wiser as they age. Along with that, they learn the art of living in a civilized society but everyone has something he/she is not proud of and that is all right. However, if you mess with an elderly woman who has known you since long, there are chances that everyone gets to know the real you.
