A little fun...

Today, we enjoyed our first trip to ch*rch, with me driving. It was very nice to be able to take the speed bumps slowly enough for V not to hurt and not to have to worry someone showingup late. J loved that this monumental trip coincided with his birthday (I'll post more pictures after we bring out his cake, tonight.)! All was good until we headed home. We were at a stoplight waiting to go and a policeman (very similar look to the man below) said I needed to pull over. He said I had ran a red light. Valerie and I paid attention and know, without a doubt, that I had followed the law. He began to write out a ticket, saying that I could either pay the Rs 400 (approx. $8.15) or go to court. Thankfully, he spoke good English. So, I brought my case before him many different ways. In the end he said okay you pay me Rs 200 and you get no ticket...okay for me and we drove off. V and I know about the corruption, but this really shook E who was asking/sobbing over and over, wondering why did he do that when we didn't do anything wrong...We're asking for wisdom for G0d as we will surely be asked this more in the future.
