Here's where the fuzz comes into the story... after we left my parents trailer heading back to Calgary to the hotel/hot tub/visit with Aunty Kelly we got about 15min away and my mom phoned to say we had left Nora's snow suit in the trailer (clearly something we can't live without). Drew & I thought it would be best for me to jump in with Dawson (following us in his truck) and go back and get the suit while Drew took the kids to the hotel. Also I need to explain that earlier in the day my brother thought it would be festive to decorate the cab of his truck with Christmas lights. So as we are driving back to the trailer a police officer drives past us and flicks his lights on but doesn't pull us over. Not thinking much of it we get to the trailer, grab the snow suit and get back on the road. On our way back to the city we pass the same police officer again (going a little faster this time) with the Christmas lights still aglow in the cab. But this time he was not as kind and pulled us over. When he got to the window he informed us (not sure if anybody else knows) that having Christmas lights in the cab of your truck has a penalty of a $400 fine and 6 demerit points. To which we both nervously laughed, turned on the charm and said we thought he was being festive before by flicking his lights on, saying Merry Christmas to us. He was a kind man and only gave a $78 ticket and a warning to not be festive in the cab of a truck ever again. Thank you Fuzz and Merry Christmas. |
