Yes - I Went "There"
I can't even believe I did this....
I was driving to work - and cutting through some back streets to get to the main street which eventually leads to work (sometimes it's easiers to do that than to try and pull out of my driveway with all the traffic coming - goes with living on a main street).
I coulda sworn I stopped at the stop sign - I hit the brake - but I musta just kinda rolled through it...
All of a sudden... police lights behind me.
So in a panic, what do I do? I start to smooth my top over my belly and ...um.... accentuate it.
Young police guy comes up: "Do you know why I stopped you, beotch?" (Ok - he said ma'am...)
Me - all wide-eyed and shoving out my belly: "Um... I'm not sure... um...."
"You didn't stop at the stop sign."
Me: "I'm very sorry! I thought I did... being pregnant and all...sometimes you don't think...your mind is on your bladder...and...and... I'm SO sorry!" (I really did think I had stopped - I mean... I know it was a "fast" stop - but it was a stop...but not long enough...sigh....)
He: "How's your driving record?"
Me: "It's pretty good. I had a few tickets about 3-4 yrs ago."
He (very nicely - the whole time): "May I see your license and insurance card?"
So he takes it back to his car.... comes back within a minute - and says, "Ok - I'm giving you a warning. Just be careful in the future."
Me: "Thank you SO much! Again - I'm REALLY sorry! Care to rub my belly?" (Ok - the rubbing belly part - pure fiction - but I certainly rubbed it - and thanked Baby Z - for helping his neurotic mom out of a ticket!).
I can't believe I pulled the pregnancy card! I actually went "there"!
Me hides my head in shame....
