Josie Bird felt tears rolling down her face as the police officers handcuffed her. “You have the right to remain silent,” one of the cops said before leading her to the police car.
Josie's neighbors all gathered outside, eager to find out what had happened. They lived next to a criminal all these years and had no idea.
Meet Josie Bird
Josie Bird had never broken any rules before. She grew up with strict parents who always told her what to do and ask no questions.
One day, when she was already a grown woman, Josie decided to step out of her comfort zone and write a list of things she had wanted to do for the past 90 years. No one, not even her children, expected to find what was written on the list.
The Day Of
One day, Josie invited her daughter Pam over for a cup of hot tea and some cookies. The two discussed the latest gossip and talked for hours about politics.
When Pam got up to clean the table, she noticed a piece of paper on Josie's table with the title "Bucket List."
In Shock
As she read the paper, she noticed something that stopped her cold. Pam couldn't believe what she was reading.
Why would her 93-year-old mother write something like this?
The Bucket List
“We have to do it,” Pam said to her husband when she got home. “It was on her bucket list, so we have to at least try!”
Her husband agreed to give it a try, and Pam picked up her phone and dialed 911. She was about to call the cops on her 93-year-old mother.
No Grandma Like Josie
There was no grandma like Josie. She loved her grandchildren with all her heart and always showered them with love and affection. She had a total of 20 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren!
She had a lot of love to give, but her family betrayed her.
The Police
It was 8 AM when Josie heard a loud knock on her front door. “It’s the police. Open up,” yelled Officer Matthews. Josie was terrified.
Why were the police here? She hadn't done anything wrong, or so she thought.
Her Daughter's Idea
It turns out that a few days ago, Josie's daughter Pam had called the cops on her. Two armed police officers arrived at Josie's house, ready to arrest her.
It took some time for the elderly woman to answer the door. She welcomed them inside and asked for an explanation.
Under Arrest
It had been 45 minutes since officers entered Josie's house and all her neighbors wanted to know what was going on behind the closed doors.
Then suddenly, one of the officers opened Josie's front door, and she walked out with her hands handcuffed. What had happened?
On The Way To The Station
The two officers led Josie to their car and told her to get inside. They took the elderly woman to the police station but not before driving through her entire hometown, where Josie was born and spent all her life.
The residents were all shocked to find Josie in the backseat of a police car. What had she done?
Locked Up
When Josie got to the police station, she was asked to complete all the appropriate paperwork. Then, the officers took the cuffed lady to an empty cell and told her to sit on the bed.
Josie sat down on the edge of the bed and let out a sigh. How did it get to this?
It Was One Of Her Wishes
It turns out that one of Josie's wishes on her bucket list was getting arrested. This lovely woman had never committed a crime and wanted to know what it was like to be arrested.
When her daughter saw the list, she decided to make her wish come true.
Happy
Josie was on cloud nine. She walked out of the station with a big smile on her face. “How was it, mom?” Pam asked her.
"It was great!" she replied. Josie couldn't have asked for a better surprise, thanks to her caring daughter and her husband.
A Dream Come True
Josie will never forget the day she got arrested in front of all her neighbors and friends. Now, not many 93-year-olds can brag about getting arrested, can they?
Especially those who had never broken any rules.
