Right To Remain Silent

We were near the end of our evening commute last night when President Bush landed in Dallas to do some last minute stumping for Governor Rick Perry. Suddenly there were police blockades and processions everywhere. It was a traffic headache but the boys love watching police officers (firefighters, police officers, et. al).

"Look Sam. The po-po."

"Why do you call police po-po?" he asked.

"Because I think it's funny." (And I do. I makes me laugh every time.)

"I don't think you should call a policeman a 'po-po' if you are talking to him. He might not like it."

"You are right. He probably wouldn't."

"He might throw you in the pokey."

Well played, Sam. Well played.
