This email was sent to me by my dear auntie. I was highly offended, but got over it pretty quickly because it's pretty damn funny! Enjoy!
May 8, 2006 Chicago, Illinois (AP) -
A seven year old boy was at the center of a Chicago courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the Judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Chicago Cubs, who the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Hey Kerri, I was not the one who wrote it! I figured I should pass it on to you even if it was slightly offensive. I also knew you would smile like I did when I read it. You do love your Cubs, don't you!
Love, Auntie C
