Pulled Over

UTV

I got pulled over last weekend.

Not in my car, but in my parents’ UTV. It was my first time driving it, of course. I was driving it back to my parents’ house after dinner in Iola. My parents, sister, and nephew were all in the UTV with me. Dad told me to drive through Olson Park and as I was exiting, a truck with lights pulled up behind us.

I wasn't pulled over for my driving. My parents hadn’t gotten their license plates in the mail yet, so they didn’t have any plates on the UTV. It wasn’t my fault!

Everything turned out fine, so it wasn’t a big deal. It was just a little funny that it was my first time driving it when it happened. Especially since the first time I drove my own car home from high school, I got pulled over for having a tail-light out. Also not my fault!

Crystal Cafe

As I mentioned, we had been driving back from having dinner in Iola, at the Crystal Cafe. That cafe has been in Iola for 50+ years.

Happy Birthday

Stephen had a tough time while we ate. He really wanted to use his mom’s hand as a pillow. That doesn’t work when she’s trying to eat. Once he started to calm down from that, the other table in our room started signing Happy Birthday.

Stephen cries every time he hears the Happy Birthday song, though he will sing it to himself randomly. I look forward to him being able to explain to us why he hates the song when other people sing it.

Chocolate Pie from Crystal Cafe

Pie & Azul

We got some of Crystal Cafe’s famous Pie 2 Die 4 and then went home to play Azul. I won!

The Stephen broke something at my parent’s house and he got in big trouble for it. I felt bad for him (though he did need to be yelled at) and was uncomfortable. That felt like a good time to head home.
