We spent Friday afternoon at the police station.
It was for a kids tour that my friend Bethany organized.
The boys loved it. They got to sit in a police car and turn on the lights. They got to go inside a jail cell. They saw the HUGE key that the police use to lock the cell doors. And they got a badge at the end of the tour.
I tell the boys that you have to go to jail if you don't wear a seat belt in the car. They think that police drive around looking for people who aren't wearing seat belts. So anytime they see somebody pulled over they ask me why they weren't wearing a seat belt and if they are going to jail. Duh, of course!
So, the tour was a nice visual aide to go along with my jail threat. They boys were appropriately edgy while we were standing inside the jail cell together. I have to admit that I would not want to be locked up for even a brief stay! It was a pretty depressing cold place! I have a feeling that I won't have to do much persuading about seat belts for a while now!
