Crimes

I will jump right into the story.

My sister, Katie( We call her KT, how cool is that?) and I were going to see my other sister Emily. While we were driving(or I should say KT was driving) my finger started hurting a lot. When I looked I discovered the culprit for my pain was a miniature sliver.

I began to do what any other normal teenager would have done. I tried to push the painful piece of wood out.

While in much pain, I looked up to see this annoying car next to us who kept blocking us in. This whole event caused my sister to speed up and get out then pass and then it would happen all over again.

Of course, the next thing we see is flashing blue and red lights. KT groaned and pulled over. I looked at the approaching policeman with interest in my side mirror and then decided the sliver was more interesting.

The sliver was almost out when I heard a knock on the window. It was the policeman. I had never before been pulled over so what I did next is completely understandable.

I opened the door. No harm done right? Wrong. That day was extremely windy. When I opened the door, the wind pushed my car door right into the face of the man. I gasped as he stumbled back and rubbed his chin.

All I could think was, "I'm going to prison for assaulting a policeman!"

"I am so sorry Officer" I squeaked, so I'm not sure how much he understood of my mouse impersonation, but he seemed to understand I did not mean to hurt him.

When he came back to give us a warning about speeding, I made sure I rolled down the window rather than opening the door.

Thankfully, we were soon again on our way. We got to Emily's house without any other incident, unless you count not being able to find a McDonalds anywhere!!

After settling down at Emily's house I took the liberty of checking how much the fine was for assault. I was surprised to find it was zero to five years in prison and up to $5,000. I'm glad the law enforcement officer understood I was innocent.

Always be careful when opening a door, you could do some serious damage.
