Back around Thanksgiving I was driving the kids to Relia's swim lesson when I got pulled over and ticketed. There was a cop on the side of 35W and I didn't pull over a lane when passing. He came up and gave a quick and angry lecture which made a big impression on some little ears. Paying the ticket has been a minor nightmare but I'll right about that in a different blog post.
Yesterday, while eating lunch with the FP Gal's family Relia leaned over to me.
Relia: (whispering) Isn't this a good time to tell everyone about the time you got policed?
Me: (whispering back) NO.
This morning while we were out driving down 35W again I was reminded of this and decided to have a word with her about how I'd rather not share this with anyone and everyone.
Me: Relia, about the time that daddy was, um, 'policed'. I'd rather not tell everyone about that ok?
Relia: But how will they know that it happened then?
FP Gal: Daddy doesn't really want to tell everyone about that.
Relia: That's ok. I'll tell them!
She really didn't understand.

Hey, I almost got policed for the same thing this summer. Luckily, I got off with a warning.
This made me roar outloud! Talk about the innocence of children. Peder, I'm sorry you got the ticket. I'll wager Aurelia never forgets this incident!
Oh Chris, if only I had been so lucky!
Oh, Peder--I really do want you to know how many times and how much you have made me laugh at your posts. I know that it is sometimes at your expense but cannot help it. This is a riot. Relia never ceases to amaze me with the things she comes up with.
Oh I love this - all the important things need to be shared :)
