Officer, please don’t haul me in. Though I’m drunk again, I can explain. I swear to you, for a week I have been completely dry, until tonight.

He’s been such a good example, everything he’s done for me. I couldn’t bear to let him down.

Monday night, brother sat me down, very graciously and explained, ‘If I’m going to help you, I must make it very clear, brother that I love you but certainly I hate your sin.'

So, you see, you can’t arrest me. I swore I’d be careful not to further shame the family name.”
