47 in a 40

This morning at about 4:40am, Pumpkin was driving to swim practice.  When he looked in his rearview mirror, there were flashing blue lights.  Yes.  Mr. Policeman pulled him over.  He was going 47 in a 40 zone.  The officer took his license and asked him where he was going.  Pumpkin politely responded that he was going to swim practice at the nearby school.  Thankfully, the policeman let him go.  He told Pumpkin that they were having some trouble in "those" neighborhoods (of which, we do not know) and that he was not the person he was looking for.

I bet Pumpkin was wide awake for practice!  I am grateful there is not a ticket involved.  Part of me wonders if he was stopped because he is driving a '96 vehicle, a rarity in these parts.

The best part is a mom of another swimmer saw that it was Pumpkin and she got all worked up.  I appreciated her worrying for my son.

What a way to start the day!

Wow. Glad the police realized he made a mistake... he should have given him a huge apology! And that's really EARLY!!
