Spare the Child
Once a month, the Courthouse shows a movie. It is called "Spare the Child". All parents in the process of obtaining a divorce from the Court are required to attend a showing of this movie. The movie emphasizes the impact that divorce can have on children and reminds couples who are going through a divorce to put the needs of their children first. Apparently, it is quite a moving experience - one couple actually reunited after hearing a girl's tearful recollection of her divorced parents putting aside their differences to attend her wedding.I was in my usual running around the courthouse frantically mode this morning when an attractive guy stopped me outside of chambers.
"Um, do you know where I am supposed to see this video...um, it is called "Spare the Child"?"
I blushed immediately and pointed him towards the appropriate courtroom. I then retreated back to my office and called a co-worker to report this new development:
"I am now contemplating hitting on guys who come watch the "Spare the Child" video."
"Well, at least you know they care about their kids", she offered hopefully.
I pondered this for a moment and then retorted, "Or they are at least smart enough to obey a court order."
I have officially added "law abiding" to my list of desired traits in a guy.

Isn't it funny that's always been on my list? Not like I've ever dated anyone who wasn't to make me think of it. :)
