Due to the mere fact that I was on my way home from work but not before going by the KCSOS office to get a new substituting credential and going by the store to pick up a couple necessities and stamps, I really really had to pee, and I hate using public restrooms...On my way home listening to the radio as always the new Carrie Underwood song, It's just a Dream, or something like that was on, super sad and me with slightly teary eyes plus holding in my liquids from the day I made a "California Stop" at the stop sign around the corner from my house... Aren't these legal?! They have a name that is especially for us Californians! Well apparently the cop on his motorcycle does not agree with my theory unfortunately, however me so dumb struck by the fact that this is the FIRST time I have ever been pulled over by a cop in my 6 years of driving I was unable to plead a case and simply thanked the man when he handed me my ticket with my court date written on the bottom. Yes, you read that right, I thanked the man! What else was I supposed to say? Up Yours, no one was around besides you, which by the way you were hiding very well! Frusterated and in tears I put the car in drive, put my blinker on, and drive the last 200 yards to my house and went to the bathroom. So needless to say I will NEVER make my loving California Stop again, because apparently the have the same things I tell my students, "Eyes in the back of their heads" oh yes and my students believe me!
One converstation on "eyes in the back of my head" with a kindergartener in the class I am student teaching:
girl: "Guess what!"
me: "what?!"
girl: "Mrs. Jensen has eyes in the back of her head!"
me: "I know! and guess what else."
girl: "What?!"
me: "so do I!"
girl: "REALLY?!"
me: "Yep"
girl: " wow, I didn't know that and you can see from them like her?"
me: "yes I can"
I so love the innocense and gullibility of young ones, I remember being on the receiving end of it, still am sometimes!

I got pulled over for the first time recently too, and honestly what else are you supposed to say? I even told the cop that I was really surprised he wasn't a butt head!! He then told me, "Well, at least you now have something good to say about the PD!" Ha! I'm with ya on the thanking thing!
I, however, got out of it :( So I totally can't help you with the court date part...how freaky!
Yeah I know! I really just wanted to ask him if he would just let me off with a warning, however I have a hard enough time asking hard questions to people I know so there was no way I'd have the guts to ask that to some cop!! I take a full and complete stop now and look ALL around me!
