Breaking the Law

We were running late, as usual, and traffic was backed up on Willow Rd before the tollway. We moved 2 car lengths in 3 turns of the light so I did it. I drove on the median. I saw my left turn and I took it. No sooner that I did so, I was pulled over.
Officer Medina of the Glenview Police slowly approached my car (he was really cute) and gave me a lecture about not driving on the median. I told him my kid had to pee and that I was trying to get to my father in law's house to remedy this, he took my license anyway.
Abby asked what was going on, I told her I broke a rule and that the officer was trying to figure out how long my time out would be. Officer Medina (got cuter and) came back with my license and told me that he wasn't giving me a ticket, but followed that with a further lecture about how I passed 2 strip malls where I could have taken Abby to the bathroom. I apologized profusely and we went on our way. Since (the adorable) officer was following me I had to turn down my in law's street. Abby got excited and thought we were going to see Grandpa. I told her we were going to see if he was home (I knew he wasn't). We sat in the driveway to "see if he was going to come out" then left after 5 minutes. (Do the lies to my kid ever stop)
Halfway home Abby announced, "I have to go potty really really bad," then she peed in her car seat a little bit.
Paybacks are a bitch.
