Today.

So I get home from work today and no one was home. Chris was picking boys up from school and wasn't back yet. I knew I had to return some books to the library right behind my house so perfect opportunity. A quick run by myself. I pull out of my neighborhood and guess who was pulled over on the side of the road (the road that butts up to my backyard)?

Chris.

I pulled over on the opposite side of road and roll my window down, "Are you getting a ticket?"


C: Maybe.

A: For what?

C: Kids not buckled.

I pull away slightly irritated wondering if a seat belt ticket goes against auto insurance or just a money ticket.

I drop my books off and go home. When I walk in the house I can hear Zach crying and I ask him what's wrong. He is totally traumatized that dad got pulled over and tells me that it's all his fault. I console him for a minute but can't seem to get much info off of him due to all the tears so I go ask Chris what happened. He did not get a ticket but did get a warning. It wasn't even Zach who wasn't buckled. It was the turkey Samson.

Who couldn't give a crap.

He is not even the slightest bit worried that his beloved daddy could have gotten in trouble. Meanwhile Zach has been crying for almost an hour and is having a difficult time getting over it.

My tender lovebug. He is such a sweet boy.
