Memories of a Lived Life: The Policeman

When my 21 year old son was five years old, we were on our way, moving to Houston from Austin, Texas on Hwy 59. I was going a little over the speed limit and I got pulled over.

The cop asked me for my papers, then said "Hey, buddy!" to my son, Justin Williams, Justin said, "Hi!" back.

He went to his car and came back and said, "Maam, I'm gonna let you go today, because I got a call and I got bigger fish to fry, but slow down." I said thank you and went on my way.

I looked at my son and said, "He was a good cop wasn't he?" and my son said, "No. If he was a good cop, he'd have given you a ticket. You WERE speeding, Mom!"
