Gettin' help
Hi everyone. Well' I'm all alone again and you aren't gonna believe what happened yesterday. Mr. Potatohead and I were lying in bed enjoying some much needed pillow talk when he told me about the French Frieda caper. He said that in actual fact he and Pancho Vanilla DID commit those terrible crimes but he said it didn't really count because they were drunk!!!! I couldn't believe it! Then he went on to say how he and Pancho, while in hiding from the Mexican authorities had spotted French Frieda and her horrible little freak in town. They ended up hatching a plan to hang the whole thing on French Frieda! Now you have to realize that I would never condone such behavior, but because the victim was French Frieda I was torn (for the first time in my life) between right and wrong. After agonizing over it I decided that I couldn't turn Mr. Potatohead and Pancho Vanilla in but I would definitely put my foot down about the constant drinking. I told him "Alcohol is no excuse for breaking the law and it has to stop". He sullenly agreed to get help, that he couldn't do it on his own. So the reason I'm alone again is that yesterday after breakfast we went to La Paz and signed him in at Alcoholcs Anonymous. The unfortunate thing is they have to keep him there for a few days to dry him out before they can pronounce him cured. We agreed that it was necessary and that he would be ok there for a few days. It was a little sad coming home all alone but I know it's for the best. Well I better get going, I'm getting some tummy cramps again. Bye for now.
Mrs. Potatohead.
