A police officer pulled over an elderly woman named Margaret for speeding. She rolled down her window and gave the young officer a sweet smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, do you know how fast you were going?\u201d the officer asked.<\/p>\n
Margaret squinted at him. \u201cOh, son, at my age, I don\u2019t even bother looking at the speedometer anymore. I just try to keep up with traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer sighed. \u201cMa\u2019am, there is no traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n
She grinned. \u201cWell, then, I must be winning!\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer chuckled but remained professional. \u201cLicense and registration, please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret began rummaging through her purse, pulling out a pack of tissues, some hard candies, a sewing kit, and what looked like a 20-year-old coupon for prune juice.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh dear,\u201d she muttered. \u201cI seem to have left my license at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer raised an eyebrow. \u201cWell, that\u2019s a problem, ma\u2019am.\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret sighed. \u201cYes, I suppose it is. But to be fair, I don\u2019t really need a license.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer frowned. \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n
She leaned in closer, lowering her voice like she was sharing a secret. \u201cBecause I don\u2019t technically own this car.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer immediately straightened up. \u201cWait\u2026 whose car is this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret waved her hand dismissively. \u201cOh, I don\u2019t know his name, but I\u2019m pretty sure he was the guy I\u2026 um\u2026 borrowed it from at the gas station.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer stepped back. \u201cMa\u2019am\u2026 are you telling me you stole this car?\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret gasped. \u201cWell, if you put it that way, it sounds bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer quickly called for backup. Within minutes, several police cars surrounded Margaret\u2019s car. A senior officer approached and asked, \u201cMa\u2019am, may I see some ID?\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret smiled sweetly and handed him her driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n
The officer blinked. \u201cMa\u2019am, this is valid. And this is your car.\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret patted the dashboard. \u201cOf course it is! Been driving it for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first officer stammered, \u201cB-but\u2026 you told me you stole it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret grinned. \u201cOh, officer, you young folks don\u2019t listen, do you? I also bet I never told you I was speeding either!\u201d<\/p>\n
The senior officer sighed, shook his head, and waved her off. \u201cHave a nice day, ma\u2019am.\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret chuckled to herself as she drove away, muttering, \u201cWorks every time.\u201d<\/p>\n
