Should I get a Ticket....We have a Plan

Today Regan and I were heading back from Austin to spend Father's Day with John Mark. With construction constantly changing at my exit off of I-35, I managed to run a stop sign. Luckily no other car was anywhere around me....but Regan pipes up from the back seat with this little gem:

"Oh Great Mom! Now if a cop stops us, I will have to pretend to cry just to save your bootie."

So apparently my child has a backup plan in case I am stopped for random traffic violations. It entails crying hysterically in hopes that the officer will feel sorry for me and let me go on. The sad part? It has worked for a friend of mine

Several years ago a friend of the family was driving with her two children and was pulled over for a traffic violation (don't remember what anymore). As the cop car comes to a stop behind her she turns to the kids in the back and says to her daughter "A, honey I am really sorry about this, and I promise mommy will make up for it"....she then turned to her son and said "K, please pinch your sister really hard!" well her son complied, and her daughter started crying hysterically, and as the cop strolled up and she rolled down her window....he immediately apologized, pointed our what she did wrong, and sent her on her way with not even a warning.

The story had been passed around for years as a funny tale amongst our friends, and I guess Regan had overheard it at some point and adapted a plan of her own. I wonder does anyone else have a ticket plan?
