Why this must be read:

It's funny. *grins* And, yes, it seems like this is going to be a month of humor recs from me. Hope you all don't mind.

Anyway, in this short fic a young Pete Wisdom tries to explain things to a judge. He's not having an easy time off it because... well. you'll see.

excerpt from One of Those Days
Well, have you ever had One Of Those Days? It started with an insightful statement, "That looks like it hurts," and continued with my oh-so witty rejoinder, "Ya think?"

From there it went on, a few hours later, to getting caught with a fag behind the principal's office. It continued inside the principal's office.

I swear, the fag was just to dull the pain. Honest. Cigarette smoke does dull pain.

After a long lecture I got to go home, where I was practically attacked by my mum and taken to the hospital.

After my arm had been set--I told you the fag was for the pain--we went home. Dad got a call from the principal, meantime, and was waiting for me to get back so he could lay in on me.

After getting grounded for the rest of my life, or until my parents died, whichever came first, I was sent to my room and left there.

Of course, being sixteen and opinionated, I didn't actually stay there.

Which, in turn, led to my current predicament.
