Living on the Edge of the Law

S.O.L. #9 out of 31

Living on the edge of the Law

Yeap  It happened...My kids and I were driving along Sunday afternoon on the back country roads after visiting my husband’s family on the farm. My husband was trailing  a ways behind us on his Harley enjoying the sunny afternoon ride.   With my mind elsewhere, we came to a small town to pass through when IT happened…..

the red and blue light

“welcome committee”

pulled me over!!!!!

Yikes!!

Seems I was traveling a bit fast through their small town. Oops!

I’m sure my poor kids were a bit nervous in the back seat as they had never experienced getting pulled over by the police before.  So after he took my license and insurance, I proceeded to try and calm them down.  I told  them about the whole process and assured them that everything was going to be alright.  Thinking this was a good time to learn a lesson,

I tried to throw in a little responsibility lecture about consequences, etc

After sitting alongside the road for over a half and hour, I pull away with only a warning (Wheww!! Lucky!) Then overheard my  son giving his sister some advice.   He suggested, “Don’t let Mom drive you to your wedding.  She will make you late.”

I chuckled since his sister is only four years old.

Then he proclaimed,

“I’m riding with DAD next time.”

(Ahha! Lesson Learned!!)
