Why Do They Remember The Things You Want Them to Forget?
The gas light in the van came on after school today so of course we stopped at the Kroger Fuel Center for a fill. I asked Jared if he would mind pumping the gas because quite frankly, it was cold outside and I was trying to polish off a Sonic cheeseburger. Jared agreed and Gabe's little voice pipes up from the back, "Do you want Jared to pump the gas so you don't get in trouble again?". For those of you who haven't already heard the story, I got gas a few weeks ago and received a call the following day from the Mt. Juliet Police Department (who I thought was trying to get money for the Police Benevolent Society)...anyway, it seems that I scanned my Kroger card and my debit card but for some reason the machine didn't read them. I didn't get a receipt but as you all know, those pay at the pump things are often out of paper so I went on my merry little way. Evidently, as it turns out, I didn't get a receipt because unknowingly to me, I didn't pay. Yes, I was a wanted felon for 24 hours. Don't worry I paid my debt and didn't have to serve any time but unfortunately my six year old can't let it go.

A felon in the family..........oh my..y...y ! What is this world coming to? Michelle, he won't forget for at least 10 yrs. I know from experience. NO ! I didn't do any thing wrong, either ! I was stopped to be reminded that there was a school zone and children would be starting the following week! A school zone? What can that be?
and you said you had nothing interesting to talk about :-)
Now Scott can't run for President...his wife is a felon!! Wait, never mind - it never affected the Clintons!!
