To Serve or Not to Serve?

I am actually considering acting as a process server.

My pseudo-boyfriend Robert is having some legal issues with his ex-wife and has to got to court. She is about to get served with papers requesting her presence in state Supreme Court. But apparently you don't have to pay a process server to perform this act of kindness. As long as the person is not related, you can have anyone act as a process server. Does this mean you should grab the nearest street urchin and request their assistance? Probably not. Hence my potential role in the matter.

At first the idea appealed to me as I had visions of dressing in a black trenchcoat and fedora, approaching the house at dusk, and catching her off-guard in her housecoat and slippers. But I also realized that if his kids are anything like mine, they would probably rush to the door as well. Then I would forever be known as "the mean lady who made mommy cry" thus damaging my status as the Pied Piper (I have a strange ability to charm and entertain children as they seem to be drawn to me with minimal coaxing...they must recognize a kindred spirit).

This reminds me of the time shortly after I moved in with my ex-husband who's previous wife was falsely convinced our relationship had began under less than appropriate circumstances. His twins were about 5 at the time and Brianne came to me and said "Leanne, what's a homewrecker?"

To serve, or not to serve? That is the question.
