White collar, Burn Notice and Life- about some cop who was set up and sent to prison for 12 years- got out- returned to being a detective, working on the side figuring out who set him up. Every once in a while we would watch Psyche and Monk...more cop shows.
OBVIOUSLY
it is apparent that I took the cop show/good guy/bad guy/civil duty thing to the EXTREME...
because today- (really this morning....)
I thought I could-
scare???
stop???
a robbery in the school parking lot!
Amy and I go to the hall door at the end of the building..the door is locked.
We come out and start walking around to go find another door to check...hear a loud crash.
CRASH
A guy in a black hoody just crashed in a window of a black SUV parked behind the school in the parking lot! Amy and I start yelling at the guy.
HEY HEY YOU...
Amy backs up- she has her phone in her hand....I start walking out to the car continuing to yell at the guy. (I don't really know what I was thinking...wait...I wasn't thinking!)
He jumps into a small red car, peels out making a U turn out of the parking lot.
I turn around yelling to Amy..
"I can't get the license plate because I can't see that far!"
She is yelling to me to come back! What if the guy had a gun.
My heart was pumping.
I call back to "call the police...."
My heart did not return to a regular pace for at least an hour.
But I had to focus because-
we had to get ready for Tyrannosaurus Rex day.
(and everyone knows how crazy T-rex day can be!)
I don't know about your mother!!
No more cop shows!!
Love,
Your courageous? or crazy?
Mom

You are my hero... but I'm glad he didn't start shooting.
Totally courage! You are pretty awesome, mom. I especially like how your mind went right to calming down for t-rex day. :)
WOW! What a story! Also, did you know there is a communication theory about just that? The Cultivation Theory, also known as "mean world syndrome". Look it up!
