British Mother has Daughter.
Daughter’s eighteenth birthday approaches.
Mother plans a special celebration.
Mother purchases almost six grams of … cocaine (street value about $1,000).
Mother’s plan is for Mother and Daughter to “snort” the cocaine while driving in a limo to London for an evening of partying.
It would undoubtedly have been a night to remember – except that Mother, who has several prior convictions, including one for drug possession, is arrested before the big day.
To Mother’s (and Daughter’s, I suppose,) dismay, the big day doesn’t come off as planned.
But, on the bright side, Mother receives only a suspended jail sentence (so she can care for a minor child she has and her elderly grandmother), and her only punishment is having to do community service.
Now that’s something to celebrate.
