It's just a speeding ticket, but my five-year-old thinks the police officers are going to put us in jail.When I was a kid "Officer Friendly" came to visit our school every year. I knew that a policeman was my friend. A person who could be trusted in a world of stranger danger. A man to be looked up to. A respected guardian of our safe way of life.
My children say (Monkey see. Monkey do.), "Watch out, Mom, there's a cop up there."
About four years ago I got a ticket for running a stop sign. Naomi asked with a colorless, panicked face whether the policeman was going to shoot us.
Somehow I think I'm not teaching this lesson very well.

I would say "Too much T.V." But that's not it, for sure. Maybe too many friends with too much T.V.
