There is SO much road construction around our house. The city of Lubbock does not want me to get anywhere efficiently. To go to Caroline's daycare I have to use 92nd street {a residential street with the speed limit of 30}. Last Monday I picked Caroline up from daycare and she was not happy. Her front top left tooth was coming in and from the minute I put her in the car seat she screamed.
I was in a hurry to get that girl some pain meds so I was traveling a little faster to usual. Right in the middle of 92nd street was a motorcycle cop. I did the whole "slam on my brakes maybe he didn't see that...." but he did and he pulled me over. Meanwhile Caroline is wailing in the back and is unconsolable. As the cop approached my car he made a sympathetic face and I knew he could hear the screaming. He asked all the questions, & I gave him my license and registration. We both had to practically scream at one another to hear. When he was running my stuff he said, "You know I have 3 girls and teething is tough. I'm letting you off with a warning."
I was very thankful and drove away going 20 MPH. {Chris would have NEVER let me live this down if I would have raised our insurance!} So that's the tale of how Caroline's teething got me out of a ticket.

Side Note: Pip had to go to the doctor this week. It's a long story involving a hot glue gun, cut whiskers, & throw up. She was not happy to be traveling to see Dr. Clark but was even more mad when they took her temperature. I wasn't very sensitive by laughing out loud when Pip made a surprised face and let out a yelp. I got a dirty look from the nurse holding Pip down. Anyways she is fine now and forgave me for the whole ordeal when I bought her a bag of tuna treats.
