Getting ready for a call out before his shift...

Good thing you ate supper

JR - I'll be back in a bit

Hey, there is a PC going around back. Is someone coming to pick you up?

JR - Yes.

Where is your gun? Is it at the office?

JR - Yes.

Are you going to pick it up? Is your vest there too?

JR - Just a call with some 60 year-old drunk guys

Well I don't like you going out to a call without your gun and your vest. Go get your gun and your vest.

JR - K (*a very non-commital "k")

That's stupid. Don't be stupid.

JR walked out the door. JJ, Tiny Bear and I watched from our living room window as he jumped in the waiting truck and drove away.

Elapsed Time: approx. 1 hour and 28 minutes

*Call Display: Office Number

Hello?

JR - Yah, everything's fine. Don't worry, I picked up my gun and my vest before we went to the call.

Well I updated our family emergency binder because I was pretty sure you were going to die.

JR - *insert chuckles* Okay. Well I'll call you later.




At least he takes my advice....

While on a supper break at 22:00hrs, Jr stopped by to grab a nibble.

JR - Look at my pants.

Mrs. R - What about them?

JR - See the scuff marks? (He points toward the front of his shins)

Mrs. R - Yah? (Kinda shrugs in a nonchalante kinda way. What is so special about dirt on your pants)

JR - I got in a fight.

Mrs. R - Really? (interest peaked)

JR - Yah, taking a guy down who was resisting arrest.

Mrs. R - And I take it you won?

JR - Yah.

Mrs. R - That's what I like to hear!

*High Fives all around*

Overheard

While getting ready to leave for Easter weekend, JJ not only broke into the nail polish and painted her own toenails, but she also painted her tongue.

I heard JR instructing her...
"oh no. K, JJ, put this water in your mouth and go "bogaroshaburga" (shakes head around) and spit out the water. Quick."

She did a very meticulous job on her toenails. I was proud.

The tongue?

Well, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger, right?

Right.
