Last Night

If you follow me on Twitter you may have noticed that last night I posted this.

I hated to make you all jealous like that, but I felt it was necessary to inform you of my incredible plans for the evening.

A little while later I posted this though.

I mean, I didn't want you feeling TOO sorry for me.  Even though it WAS a hockey game.

As a side note, on the way to the hockey game I posted this.  And it's completely true in the most completely truest sense of the word.  Lazy Dad definitely lacks in this area.  I usually just giggle the whole time he's ordering. Because he's just so darn bad at it. Bless his heart.

But anyway, while we were at the hockey game I tweeted this out.  Because there is TOTALLY some serious funny going on then. And you all know how I like funny. So I thoroughly enjoyed myself during those moments.

But all of that wasn't the highlight of the evening.  No, what happened AFTER the hockey game was the true highlight of the evening.  It made cleaning the church, eating fast food and going to a hockey game ALL worth it.

Yes, last night, after the hockey game, we are driving home minding our own little business.  When suddenly behind us police lights start flashing.

"Is that Police man pulling us over?" I asked.

"I think so." Lazy Dad replied. "But I don't know what I did wrong."

"Were you speeding?"

"I don't think so."

"Well how do you know? Were you watching the gauge?" (I like to be sure of these things)

"No. But I don't think I was speeding. It's 40 all the way through here."

"Well, maybe we have a tail light out or something." (yeah, SURE)

The Police man walks up to the car as Lazy Dad rolls down the window. He shines his flashlight into the car and says, "We had a red Ford Focus stolen tonight, but you all obviously aren't the people."

Lazy Dad says, "Yup, it's not us."

And I leaned over him and jokingly said, "Yes, we like to take our kids on car heists."

Luckily the Police man laughed at my joke.  You just never know with those guys.

So when we get home Lazy Dad posts on his facebook page that we had gotten pulled over.  Some of the comments were hysterical!

Here's a few of my favorites...

I don't worry about car theft... If they steal mine, they will bring it back...

So, someplace there is a police report that that says that you aren't right. At least it is official now.

Sue the city........Ginger profiling! All gingers look guilty, but come on! (Lazy Dad's a red-head and this one friend calls him "ginger")

Was that you guys on Cops, man you were haulin!

wow... were they sure ???

Yep.... You definitely have that LOOK! And Stacey well we KNOW everyone from Texas carries!

Hilarious!  Yes, getting pulled over was fun. Hopefully it will happen again next weekend so we can have some more fun.

Wait. Huh?
