If you can't tell from the photo she was talking about the cop who was about to issue us a ticket. You would not necessarily think I would be laughing at that moment, but when I saw the lights for the second time yesterday, yes you read that correctly, the second time I couldn't do anything, but laugh.
Let me start from the beginning.
Around 10am yesterday morning when I was out doing a few things I should have been doing today (Tuesday's are my errand days), I got pulled over just a few yards away from my destination. The officer must have seen the shock on my face when he told me my car registration was late. I could of sworn it got done, but no, apparently it late as of July. Imagine my frustration and embarrassment (I never do stuff like that). He gave me a ticket which I was so devastated to get, but it didn't hit me as hard as it will when the amount comes in the mail because honestly, in that moment, I think I was more mad than anything that I had to drop what I was doing and go figure it out. Plus I had a brake light out in the back so it wasn't an easy one stop. Bleh!
So I spent my morning getting that taken care of and drove home feeling confident with a sticker to prove it.
Fast forward to yesterday evening when the family was out heading to Gardner Village to see the witches and, yet again, lights flashed in our rear view mirror. Sure enough, he said our registration didn't come up as current. I laughed. Seriously, what are the chances to get hit twice in one day? WHAT ARE THE CHANCES? I was so glad I had taken care of it earlier.
So take it from me and don't forget to register your car. I still can't believe I forgot.
As of today there have been no cop incidences, though funny enough, a cop opened the door for me at Barnes and Noble.

Love the quote! Cracks me up.
And what luck for you to be pulled over Twice for the same thing. Do you get to waive the ticket since you got it taken care of right away?
I hate that feeling of getting pulled over. That's crazy that you didn't realize your registration expired in July! I'm already dreading mine coming due in November.
HAHAHAHA. that line is the best. F loves to YELL whenever he sees police, "watch out! they're after us." it's especially *cute* when we pull up next to one with all our windows open. um, hi officer, nothing suspicious here. ;-D glad you're taken care of now. (and super glad they didn't impound you for being so late like they did to john last year, yowza's)
LOL! This happened to me last year as well...not twice though. My registration had expired 6 MONTHS earlier. I had one of those "I swear I took car of this moments" too. Good advice though..."Just act natural!"
I got pulled over twice in the same night for having a headlight out back in high school.
The quote is classic.
My girlfriend got pulled over for expired state inspection, but ended up having a ridiculous number of other things (expired drivers license, missing proof of insurance). She started sobbing because it was the end of a bad day, she had all her kids in the car and her husband was at work. The next day on her way to get everything taken care of she got pulled over by the same police officer for the same thing. She said his face dropped when he saw her and she immediately told him she was actually on her way to get everything taken care of.
