Well, as you can tell from the title, I had a "first" today...
I got pulled over!!!
I couldn't believe it, but knew the minute I went around the corner and saw the cop car that I was toast! I had just been to WalMart and had found this HUGE clock to go on my wall. I was in Kevin's truck, so I had to put the clock in the back (too big to fit inside) and was on my happy way when he got me!! The conversation went something like this:
Him: (slowly walking up to my window) Excuse me ma'am, do you have the time?
Me: (thinking to myself: sooooo not funny right now) I would if I had some batteries to go in the clock.
Him: Do you know what you did wrong?
Me: Um, well, yeah, I have an idea.
Him: You made an illegal right turn. You crossed over too many lanes.
Me: Well, yes officer, you are exactly right. I sure did. (giving him my best suck-up-to-the-officer-voice and sheepishly smiling)
Him: I'll give you a warning. Make safe turns.
Me: Absolutely officer. I won't ever do that again. (again, smiling)
Him: Licence and proof of insurance.
Me: (thinking, SHOOT...where does Kevin keep that???) No problem.
5 minutes later, still waiting, lights flashing, neighbors waving as they pass...you get the picture.
Him: Have you ever heard of ____________(a name of a city I had never heard of)?
Me: No sir.
Him: Someone with your same name and birthday has a warrant out for their arrest. I don't think you are Native American, and I don't suppose you live on the reservation.
Me: (laughing) No sir.
Him: OK. Drive Safe.
Me: (rolling up my window and realizing that I have to cross over 3 lanes of traffic to make a left turn....PANIC!!!)
Tate: Mommy? What was that?
Me: Nothing baby. Thank you for being so good while mommy talked to the officer.
Me: (thinking thank goodness he didn't see you in the back seat NOT in a car seat!!!!! (I should clarify that he was buckled in, but his car seat doesn't fit in the teeny tiny backseat of the truck)WHEW!!)
What a morning! Can't wait to put the clock on the wall!!!

Oh my goodness. How lucky. I can't believe it. Gotta love the sarcasm too- with him asking you about the time. Boy- if he had seen Tate too- I worry he would have been stinky about that. He didn't make a peep when he was back there? Good boy! Can't wait to see your clock :)
