Cop understood the assignment.
I got pulled over for speeding today. Before the officer could even say a word, I pleaded, “Please, let me explain. The woman in the back seat is my mother-in-law. She’s been living with us for the past three months, and today she finally decided to return to her own house. I need to get her there before she changes her mind. That’s why I was speeding.”
The cop looked at me, then at the back seat, and nodded.
“Sir,” he said, “get back in your car. I’m going to give you a full police escort. We are not taking any chances today.”
