He was there to demonstrate that the police are our friends, and let the kids flip on the lights and sirens, etc. <br /><br />During question and answer time, a sweet wide-eyed little girl asked, "Does everyone who does a bad thing go to jail?" To which the nice officer responded, "Well, it depends. Sometimes if someone is really bad, we DO take them to jail. Othertimes, we can just talk to them or give them a ticket." The little girl nervously said, "I can't find my library book." The crowd laughed and the police officer said, "Well, now, that's a pretty big deal..." in a joking way. The little girl turned and buried her face in her father's shirt. <br /><br />The poor cop felt just awful. He tried to back it up, but it was too late. <br /><br />Perhaps you need to call in the law.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-85529014123587876162022-10-26T16:17:33.493+01:002022-10-26T16:17:33.493+01:00I sure do love seeing a pretty leaf!
