Why Wendy is cooler then I am

I had an interesting thought the other day after my wife came home from visiting someone. I could tell something was wrong and then she went into this story to explain of how she was feeling. Let me start that if I had experienced what she did, we would be $250 poorer, but that is why Wendy is cooler then I am. On Tuesday we went to wash our cars, then we all went shopping at wal-mart. After shopping we piled all the groceries into the Durango and myself and the kids went home and unloaded the car while Wendy took the Kia and got gas and dropped off an invitation. On her way to drop off her invitation she was making a left turn. About 20 yards after doing so the police lights came on she pulled over to the side of the road. Apparently she ran a red light without knowing it. She was trying to figure out where she was and according to the police ran a red light. So my wife decided that it would be in her best interest to get out of the ticket, therefore she began to cry uncontrollably when the policeman came to talk to her. Well needless to say she got out of the ticket and even had the policeman respond to her and say "I want you to know we are not bad people and we are just here to protect you." Had I ran the red-light no cop would have let me off that easy, but that is why Wendy is cooler then me (or she's a woman and can get away with anything.) Love ya Wife. Keep on crying if it keeps us a little richer!

P.S. On Wendy's behalf this was her first time ever being pulled over in her entire life. Kudos to you wifey. Way to go 24 years, 11 months and 2 days without ever being pulled over.

Ooh, it sounds like Wendy has a birthday coming up...party time!

I usually cry AFTER the policeman walks away, so apparently I need to cry BEFORE he writes out the ticket. :)

Ha ha ha!!!! That is awesome that she has a stellar driving record. I don't get tickets either, but I think it is because of my blatant honesty. For example:
Police Man: Are you aware that you are going 62 in a 25?
Me: Yes.
Police Man: Well, don't do it again.
Me: (dumfounded look) Okay.

Takes after her mom apparently. One ticket in my whole driving career. Not that I shouldn't have had others but....... the Olsen girls know how to work the poor policemen. Ask Karen.
