Something funny...

What came to mind here was this past Easter Sunday. It was a nightmare for me at the time. My daughter had called early that evening to say her boyfriend's car had broke down, and would I please come and get them, because his parent's car was also down. Well I went and got them and brought them home. Around 12:00 in the morning, I got a call from my son. He and his girlfriend where stranded out at the ferry, about 15 miles away. Their car had broke down and they walked almost 10 miles to the nearest phone booth. So me and my daughter and her boyfriend all piled into the van to go looking for them. There they were inside a phone booth. I guess Krissy, my son's girlfriend, had gone behind an old building thinking she could go pee, will she and my son where chased into the phone booth, but by the time I got there the dog was gone but Krissy was still bouncing. They got into the van, and I proceeded to take the two of them home first.

Well my son spots a cop car and joking he says: "I bet he pulls you over mom." I got a little nervous and next thing I knew, the lights came on. I was being pulled over. The kids were cracking up, especially my son, and poor Krissy back there still needing to go. Will, the officer, came up to me and asked me if I knew why he stopped me, and I said no. He said my back tail light was out, so he was real nice and let me go. I got about 5 blocks away and my son spotted another police car. He said: "Hey Mom! Maybe this one will stop too and really give you a ticket." I was holding my breathe when low and behold them pretty lights came up from behind again. The officer (not the same one) came up to the window and asked if I knew why I was being pulled over. I said yes, my back tail light is out, and I explained out being pulled over a very short time ago. Well he said that was not the reason he was pulling me over, I was going 18 miles over the speed limit. He asked why I was going so fast in such a hurry, and all that blurted out of my mouth was "Krissy's got to pee." I could not believe I said that! He looked at me kinda funny, took my license back to his car and proceeded to write what looked like a ticket. The boys were just having a gay of time laughing at me 'cause I was getting a ticket. I had never been stopped before this night. Anyway, after about 10 minutes, which seemed more like an hour, he came up to the window and handed me the *Warning*. He did not ticket me, he said next time make sure your passengers relieve themselves before departing and then he let me go.

Poor Krissy was floating by the time I got her home, but at least we made it there. If those officers only knew the kind of night we were having. Hopefully it won't ever happen again, but now I can look back at it and laugh, but at the time it was not funny to me. My son still cannot believe I got away without being ticketed. He said if it was him they would of nailed him. I guess someone was looking over my shoulder that night .
