While dropping off my granddaughter at her school yesterday morning, I was a little amused at something we witnessed. A carpool mom, dropping off a couple of girls, must have committed a traffic violation. A police officer flipped on his cruiser’s blaring, red and blue lights to pull her over. She quickly complied but did so in the school parking lot. The girls in the passenger seats jumped out and rushed away from the car, mortified. I’m sure it wasn’t worth the ticket, but what a great way to embarrass a middle school child! I’m sure the mom was too irritated and busy to enjoy their red faces, and may have been a bit embarrassed herself, but I thought it was priceless. I can hear it now, “Oh. My. Gosh. Do you know what my mom did? I thought I would die!” I'm just glad it wasn't me.
I’m waiting for the toddler to wake up so I can take her to the doctor. I think, no, I know she has an ear infection. Our house is full of sick people. Come to think of it, the whole community if full of sick people. I almost hate to take her to the doctor, since it’s a good possibility there will be someone there who is contagious. The grandson is on his second day off from school but is doing much better. He’s feeling so much better that I’m making him clean out the turtle tank. If he can play with his Legos, he can clean the turtle tank. He’s not complaining as it’s a chore he enjoys. He just has to be reminded to do it. Come to think of it, he has to be reminded of a lot of things.

From the title I was concerned that you had committed a faux pas that had the middle schooler reeling. Glad to hear you were only a witness.
That is a funny story and ironic, Ashley is a Mat Maid for the wrestling team. They recently had a wrestling match out of town and she had called me during one of her breaks to check in. Even though I probably called her every hour. But back to my point I wouldn't let her off the phone until she said she loved me too. She kept saying not now mom and eventually she said it but she was so embarassed. Why? I don't know. But i got a kick out of it. My Dad embarassed me alot when I was a teenager. He would pull people over when he would take me home and I would hide in the floorboard of his cruiser.lol
