Here's the plan

"Okay, Amy, I am going to say something and it is just a joke. If I get pulled over because I am speeding, make the kids cry and I will try to talk my way out of the ticket."

Now, I am processing what Sean has just said as I sit in the backseat of the van entertaining the kids on our way home from San Antonio.
"Why? Are you getting pulled over? Oh wait, you said it's a joke. Okay. I get it. ha ha"

Now, Sean is being funny, normally I would have laughed. Sean is such a great husband that he knows I am processing stuff very slowly lately, so, he has to watch it.

SO, he continued with the "plan"-"just pull the pacifier out of Joshua's mouth and take the DVD player away from Stephen and we should be good." And really, he's right, it would have worked. I did laugh.

Thankfully, he was driving, so, we didn't get pulled over and didn't need to sacrafice our kid's happiness for the good of the whole family. If I would have been driving, and driving 5 mph over the speed limit, I would have gotten pulled over. I have some way of attracting cops...I average a ticket a year.

We did have a good time in San Antonio, and I am feeling very refreshed today as a result.
