Learning more about Policemen

Conversation went something like this:

Regan:  Mommy, is that a police car?

Me: Yes, good job.

Regan:  Who is in the police car?

Me:  Hopefully a policeman (I didn’t say woman but I was just thinking along the lines of someone official and real).

Regan:  What do policemen do?

Me:  Well, they help if there is an accident, they pull you over if you are speeding (thanks goodness she hasn’t had to experience this fun…yet), they can help in a lot of ways.

Regan: (Spotting another car coming up the ramp) There is another one!  Why are there so many?

Me:  Shift change and they have to make sure that there are no accidents (with donuts).

(As we pull into Cille’s, and another parent is there that is a police man)

Regan:  Why is there a police car here?

Me:  Paul’s daddy is a police man.

(I think she started to circle around again, but I was keeping her busy with getting out of the car)  Gotta love the mind of a 3 year old.
