njrazd - Just thinking about my family - If you have relatives who place bets or smoke pot or anything better not talk about it or he may be doing his civic duty and call the police about it.

These stories are really funny! I need a laugh today, so thanks all!
I bought a nice winter coat for my daughter and found the same coat a few days later at another store at a really good sale price. As she had not yet worn the coat, I decided to buy the sale one and return the first one I bought.
When I returned to the first store and handed the coat to the saleslady, she asked if anything was wrong with it. I told her that we just didn't like it as much as we first thought. My daughter, 5 at the time, said loudly. "If I didn't like it, why did you buy the same coat at the other store?" I could have fainted, but the lady smiled nicely and processed the return.
Similar thing happened to a neighbor buying a new car. As they were signing papers after negotiating a price on the trade-in, the little boy said "Thank goodness we're getting rid of that oil-leaking piece of junk!" His dad was so embarassed.

My son had to wait till he was old enough to know better and then embarrass me.
When he was about 16 years old: I was going shopping with my friend and I could see she had something on her mind. Finally she asks "When are you going to tell me about Mike?" I had no idea what she meant and asked her. She says "About Mike being arrested." I almost drove off the road. Now I'm thinking how can he get arrested without me knowing about it and she did. She said it was in the papers. Well, come to find out he and his friend were arrested for swimming in a reservoir. I had to go to court and sit with prostitutes, pimps, and drug dealers. I felt like killing him. He thought it was a great learning experience! When I asked him why he didn't tell me at once, he said "I didn't want to ruin your birthday."
