"I Knew I'd Get the Ticket"


When we shipped our cars back from Europe, Jake decided to leave the Euro plate on the front of his Mini Cooper cause it looks better--and it does (I'm not showing his real plate cause who know who'll read this). He does have an Idaho plate on the back. I told Jake that I'll be the one that gets pulled over for having the wrong license plate on the car. Well, sure enough, Karen (Jake's Mom) & I went to Nampa to a home decor store. On our way home, a police car spun around, turned on his light & pulled me over. I knew right away it was for not having 2 Idaho plates on the car. I don't know how many times a police car has passed me in Boise & not one has pulled me over. The police officer seemed kind of "hickish" & seemed to not know what kind of plate was on the front by how he talked about it. He came across as kind of rude. He told me I could go to court or pay the fine--I'm definitely not going to court. Don't think I could win this one. The fine wasn't too bad, thank goodness!! Jake still doesn't want to change the plate--guess who'll get pulled over next time--ME!

That was the funniest story when you told me. Sorry about the ticket. I can't believe Jake wants to leave it. Better luck next time. By the way, it does look cool on the front, I have to agree.
