Today on the long drive down I-70W from Topeka to Fort Riley, we had a cop flip around from the eastbound lanes and start following us west. Tucker, who is fully aware that if caught by a policeman he could go to jail, told me to "just drive faster, Mom. Eventually the cop will go away!"
It reminds me of a post from the Momastery blog about the fact that I'm not a drug smuggler, just a soccer mom and there's no need to freak out (even if I was .... perhaps... speeding).
Safe travels!
