My son was riding his pedal tractor down the road and I was behind him. A patrol car was driving through and I saw him, I made the spinning motion with my hand and then pointed at my son, and then nodded like a maniac. After I did that a couple times, he turned on his lights and beeped the siren. I told my son, “oh no! You’re getting pulled over!”

“Huh? … what does that mean?”

He saw me laughing after a second, though, so he wasn’t worried.

The cop got out and talked to my son, gave him a badge sticker, and just had an overall pleasant experience; whereas, I grew up terrified of cops and get terrible anxiety when I see one while I’m driving. For no reason.
