I looked out the window and what did I see??

Two police officers standing by my back gate (doesn’t really flow for the song, oh well.)

I opened up the bedroom window to see if I could hear what was going on. 2 cops had picked up some kids ditching school because they didn’t want to go to detention.

Conversation when a little like this:
cop1: “Sorry? Sorry is for accidents, you did this on purpose. ‘Sorry’ isn’t going to fix this.”

You ever been to jail? Jail is a whole lot worse than detention.

Here’s what I’m going to do for you. I’m going to take you back to school – just this one time, next time I’ll take you to jail. I’m going to take you back to school and you’re going to go to detention. And you’ll probably get more detention, but you’re going to listen and go. Then you’ll go home and probably get in trouble with your parents and probably grounded for the weekend. But you’re going to listen and do it. And I don’t want to find you skipping school again.

I didn’t see another cop car, but I think it was on the other side of the wall to the left. I’m glad my kids were inside watching TV and ignoring the outside world for a brief moment.
