For Josie Bird, she had always stuck by the rules. She grew up in a generation where you do what you’re told and ask no questions. That’s why one day, the 93-year-old decided to write a bucket list; to hopefully achieve all the things she had been yearning to do for the past 90 odd years.
But nobody expected to find what was written on the list, especially her daughter Pam.

Josie’s daughter Pam popped round on a Wednesday afternoon for a cup of tea and some shortbread. The two discussed the weather, politics, and laughed until they cried. But then as Josie gets up to let her cat out, Pam sees a piece of paper on the table. She picks it up and notices “Bucket List”‘scrawled across the top of the page.
As Pam reads further suddenly she reads something that stops her cold.

“We have to do it,” Pam says to her husband. “It was on her bucket list so we have to at least try!” Pam and her husband were propped up in their bed discussing the bucket list Pam found a few days earlier. Her husband looks at her and Pam picks up her phone. Slowly she dials 911.
Was she really about to do this? To call the cops on her own 93-year-old mother?

“It’s the police open up,” yells out Officer Matthews. A few days had passed since Pam called the cops on her mother and since then two armed officers arrived at the doorstep of Josie. After knocking, they called out her name and although it took a minute for the frail woman to answer.
She finally did and welcomed the officers inside.

Locked Up

Once at the station and with all the correct and appropriate paperwork filled out, the officers walk the cuffed grandmother to an empty cell and instruct her to sit on the bed. As the officers uncuff her, Josie lets out a sigh.
She sits down on the beige bed and the bars slam shut. How did it get to this?
