We saw a motorcycle cop this afternoon. He waved at the kids. Jack points to the cop's speed gun and says, "Look! He has a cool gun thingy." I told him that it was a radar gun that keeps track of everyone's speed. Then I showed Jack the speed limit signs. 25 mph. 40 mph. Jack read some of the numbers. I explained that when cars go faster than the speed limit on the signs, then the police officer stops them and gives them a ticket.

Jack sees another speed limit sign, "OK, go faster than that speed."

I ask him, "Why?"

He says, "Because I want you to get a ticket so we can go to the movie theater."
