"You're not drunk, are you?!"

Sorry I've been slacking on posting, but I have some good stories to share!!

Last Wednesday, I had just gotten off work and was driving home. I stopped at the gas station, put a couple gallons in the tank, and drove home. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me. I wasn't speeding or driving recklessly, but all of a sudden, a cop car with flashing lights came speeding up behind me. I figured they were after someone, so I pulled over to get out of the way, and he pulled over behind me. My heart dropped and I started to panic. I wanted to cry because I wasn't doing anything wrong, or so I thought.

The officer came up to my window, asked for my driver's license, registration, and insurance. Then quickly said, "I need you to step out of the car". I'm sure the look on my face was priceless, because then he asked "do you know why I pulled you over?"

"I have no idea, officer. It'd be nice to know!" I said as I got out of the car.

"Wait..." he said, "You're not drunk, are you?"

"No! I'm 5 months pregnant!" I said

I've never been laughed at by someone like I was just then. I didn't understand what was so funny and I was frustrated he was making fun of me.

"Doesn't it look a little dark to you?" He smirked.

I smacked my palm on my forehead. I can't believe drove all the way home from work without my lights on, and didn't even notice. And he pulled me over because he thought I was drunk. Good grief, I would be busting a gut too!

I asked him if we can blame it on my situation being the worst of all combinations: blonde and pregnant. He agreed, and we talked for a good 30 minutes before he handed my stuff back to me and let me go home.



Disclaimer: I have never EVER been able to talk myself out of a ticket. This was simply pure luck and the fact that the officer had a good sense of humor.
