Icing on the Cake

~165~

I spent the entire lunch telling Ren about how the court summonsed me to testify on the twins’ birthdays and that they wouldn’t let me change the dates at all.

I may or may not have said “Fuck Parliament” and “Fuck the Australia Court.” Oops.

After lunch, we hugged goodbye and then departed. A few hours later that afternoon, I got a text from Ren.

OMG turn on TMZ, NOW! –Ren

I quickly went to the TV and turned on TMZ. I saw a picture of me on there, and an audio of me saying, on a loop, “Fuck the Australia Court.”

Oh my God. Someone got a recording of me saying that today.

Calum came into the living room and saw what was happening on the TV.

“How did they get a recording of you saying that?” Calum asked.

“I don’t know-I” I thought for a second, and then it donned on me. “Oh my God those stupid bitches I know how they did it!”

“How?” Calum asked.

Without answering him, I grabbed my phone and called Ren.

“Girl.” I said. “That bitch at the restaurant stole your purse, put a hot mic in it, and handed it back to you! Go through your purse, find the mic, and destroy it!”

“I can’t believe the media is still doing stuff like this!” Calum said.

Later that evening, after I spewed off rage for a few hours, I made a decision. I’m not going to be mad about this. They can say whatever they want about me, but I did nothing illegal. Freedom of speech. I can criticize the government.

But what matters is my family. We have two amazing children, and another on the way. It’s time to focus on that.
