Weekend Fun

This Saturday we finally went to the optometrist to quell KG’s fears of needing glasses (less fear…more of a want really) and I would finally be able to get some new frames…so needless to say I was excited! To be honest, I hadn’t given much thought as to when we would be able to get new glasses, but when KG came home from school two weeks ago convinced she needed glasses I started thinking. Turns out it was just the perfect time and I made appointments for myself and KG.

After the optometrist assured KG she did not need glasses…yet…and I chose the “look” I would have for the next 2 years, we headed out to Meijer and Walmart to do our weekly shopping. We had the opportunity to meet and enjoy dinner with my dad at Tumbleweed.

On our way home we pass a city police officer in the small town next to ours and think nothing of it. As we weren’t speeding, we continued to think little of it when he pulled in behind Jon and followed us out of the city, out of his jurisdiction, and five miles out of his jurisdiction. As soon as Jon turned on the signal of for our driveway, the officer turned on his lights also. We were pulled over in our own driveway.

The officer gave Jon a ticket for the expired tags (which we didn’t realize at the time were expired) and I took the girls in the house. Jon was furious…not because we got a ticket we deserved, but because the officer pulled us over out of his jurisdiction…and questioned the officer’s jurisdiction. Officer P. told Jon that yes, he was a city officer, but he has jurisdiction all over the county (not true).

Now granted our tags were expired, but should the officer have pulled us over outside the city limits and his jurisdiction?

In the midst of our calming bath last night, KG sticks her finger in her ear and declares “Yep, that rock’s still in there!”

Whu-whu-what???

The WHAT!? is in your ear??

Rock??! !

That’s right, my brilliantly intelligent, overly logical daughter has put a rock in her ear.

Nevermind that it’s already 7pm and this is the first I am hearing of this, my child has a rock. In. Her. Ear.

After regaining my composure (I might have mentioned using her God given sense) I drug her wet, cold, whimpering butt outta the tub andbegan the intricate removal process. Since getting lodged up there, she had managed to push it a bit inside the ear, however I managed to remove it without much problem.

My child, my firstborn…boys will not always find rocks in the ear cool, please stop now while you can still hear.

Tonight she rests. Empty ears and hopefully a lesson learned.

Have your kids ever stuffed foreign objects in strange places?
