good evening officer...

So I got pulled over last night...
Here's how it went down...

Me driving talking on the phone with Reese. I see cop down the road, and lower my speed to below the speed limit.
To Reese, "Ha! That cop thought he could get me, but I saw him and I'm not even speeding. Oh wait, he is turning around. Oh yeah, my head light is out. I will call you after I'm done being pulled over."
>> fast forward to me pulled over awaiting the cop to come to my window>> play:

Me: Thinking how funny it is that my new headlight is waiting on the kitchen table and smiling. A big smile.
Cop: approaches my car, "Whats that grin for?"

Me: "Because I know why you pulled me over.

Cop: Smiling, "And why is that?"

Me: "Because my head light is out and I have new one at home and my dad just hasn't put it in yet and I have my license its just in my purse, but that's in the trunk because-" (out of breath and slightly nervous, but still smiling.

Cop: "It's okay just relax. Im going to let you go just give me your name real quick."
>>fastforward to cop coming back to my window>> play:

Cop: "Tell that husband of yours to get that headlight fixed."

Me: "Will do." (in my head: where in the heck did he hear husband in all of my nervous chattering?)

Cop: Be safe and have a good night.

Me: "Thanks." deep breath!

Moral of the story: cops can sometimes be nice, and my dimpled smiled worked like a charm ;)
