My Face Was Red!!!!

OK, so the boys woke up a little grumpy from naps today and I decided an adventure was necessary for mommy to make it to bedtime. Being that a friend posted pictures of their trip to 5 Guys yesterday I had a craving for a greasy burger and was determined to combine my efforts to get the kids out of the house and fill my desires for the burger all in one trip. I decided we would go to Sonic. Neither boy had ever eaten there plus it was quite a drive and would keep us out of the house for some time. This was going to be the perfect evening.

I should have known that this would be a special trip when I asked Jeffrey to pick out an outfit and he chose pajamas (not matching might I add). In my efforts to help him become more independent I allowed him to wear his selection, joyous that we didn't need to get out of the car for our final destination. We loaded up the car and off we went. Everything was perfect. We had a blast eating in the car, watching cars pass by, talking and just enjoying each other. The boys were joking with each other and being soooo well behaved. After we finished our food we packed up our trash, buckled back up and began our drive home. This would be the part where my total humiliation began.

After passing through a few lights we noticed that there were a couple police cars stopped ahead of us. We continued on while talking about the blue lights and then I noticed, as we got closer, that they were arresting the driver of the stopped vehicle. Sure enough, the traffic light where they were stopped turned red just in time for us to pull up next to the cars and see the "action". At this point Jeffrey began yelling, "BAD GUY, BAD GUY, BAD GUY!!!" out the window and pointing to the man in cuffs. Oh, if I could have hidden under my car seat I totally would have. I was mortified. I put his window up and began to say, "sweetie, you have to be a little more quiet about these things!" To which he replied, "MOMMY, THEY TAKE HIM TO JAIL!!! BAD GUY, BAD GUY!!!" Oh, this was very embarrassing and THIS IS A VERY LONG LIGHT!!!!!

I forgot that I had my window down and the thing that happened next just threw some icing on the cake along with a few candles and sprinkles. Bubba let out a burp that men would be jealous of (another verification that he will be a GREAT baseball player). The burp was so loud that the cops turned and looked through my window right at me. Yep, they totally thought I had released that sound and they began laughing. As if this wasn't bad enough, THE LIGHT WAS STILL STINKING RED! I swear this has to be a 10 min light. I considered just running it but then realized that these would be the very men who would pull me over. Oh just suck it up and sit there with your hand covering the left side of your face, if you can't see them, they can't see you.

Needless to say, there are 3 cops and 1 arrested individual who are currently talking to the person next to them about the loud mouthed kid and the woman who burped like a man. Yep, that would be me!
