Mama's Lucky Day

After dropping CJ off at school, one of the other moms invited Mama to grab a cup of coffee. She said she and another mom were just going to grab a cup and get on their way. So Mama followed them to the coffee shop. When we got there, the bike patrol was riding up the block, scanning the cars for parking tickets. Mama went ahead and purchased a sticker with 30 minutes on it, thinking that would be way too much time. But once we got inside and got our coffee, the other mothers decided to sit down and chat and before we knew it, the bike patrol was riding past the window again. Mama ran out to her car and got there just as the bike was stopping to issue her a ticket. The patrol person made a comment and shook his head, then was on his way. Wow. Mama made it there just in the nick of time.

And the latte was barely lukewarm so definitely not worth the price of a parking ticket.
