I love thanksgiving because it is a great time. That sounds generic and bland, but is there really a way to describe it? The family gets together. The family eats a lot. The family tells stories and laughs together.
I don't know if this will become a yearly post or not, but I thought I'd share what I thought was the best story told at our Thanksgiving table. This is a true story, reported by my mom who works for the Ingham County sheriff's Department.
We all know it has snowed recently in Michigan. The other day an officer is out on patrol when he spots a car in the ditch. The driver is drunk and is also stuck. He keeps flooring the gas in a vain attempt to get out of his predicament.
The officer was not without a sense of humor. While approaching the vehicle he got an idea. He gets out of his car, then promptly runs up to the driver's side door of the car. As he gets there he remains in motion, running in place. He starts knocking on the window and yelling "STOOOOP!" while never breaking stride. The driver looks at him confused and then takes his foot off the gas pedal. The situation is resolved.
When the driver later came in to the Sherrif's office to settle the matter he was quoted saying, "Gosh that officer could run fast!"
Hope you had a great thanksgiving. Feel free to share your favorite story of the day!
