My girlfriend’s parents didn’t like me visiting her. So I secretly started to climb a ladder to get to her balcony. But one night my mother-in-law accidentally pushed the ladder when she opened the kitchen window to scare some barking dogs away. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary, because my mother-in-law was smitten with remorse, and now, because of feelings of guilt, she let me visit my girlfriend whenever I want to.
