Good Thing I'm Cute
Because sometimes I'm as dumb as a box of rocks.
Saturday night, at about 7:30-7:45, I had Grace and Mamacita with me in the car. We had just gone grocery shopping and were on the way home. I was about halfway across town when I saw a cop car flip around in the middle of the street and pull behind me.
About thirty seconds later I came to a stop at the intersection...as I was stopping, I had this sneaking suspicion that the cop was going to pull me over...so I ran through the checklist in my head:
What am I missing??
Sure enough, as soon as I pulled through the intersection on the green light...on come the big lights... of course I pulled over immediately. I turned down the stereo and rolled down my window as I got my license ready. The cop walked over to my window and the following exhance ensued:
Officer: Ma'am do you know why I stopped you?
Me: No Officer I don't (and I really didn't)
Officer: You really don't know why I'm stopping you?
Me: No sir. I really don't.
Officer: Where are you coming from?
Me: from the grocery store, I'm just on my way home.
Officer: Ma'am, you really don't know why I pulled you over?
Me: No sir, I really don't (I'm starting to get annoyed and he looks like he's gonna laugh)
Officer: (in a sarcastic "you idiot" tone) Ma'am, you don't have your lights on.
Me: Ooops. My running lights were on...I guess I didn't notice.
Officer: Ma'am have you been drinking?
Me: No sir, apparently I'm just slow. The street was lighted and I didn't notice. But no sir, I haven't been drinking.
Officer: umm...ok then. How about you turn your lights on now. And ma'am...drive safely.
ummm....I said "ooops". That should totally count. Did I mention that Grace and my mom are laughing their asses off this entire time. But did either of them notice we were driving without lights??? I thought not.
Somedays I wonder how I am let out in public...
