#30facesofautism 2020 - Day 23
Day 23 - Thanksgiving night of this past year Big and Baby Girl were leaving my sister’s home in the country to go back to Granny’s well after dark. The roads are black and winding and they were in a car that was very new to Big Girl. To make this story even extra LuLu was also in the backseat with Baby Girl. They were pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy because Big accidentally hit the high beams instead of the turn signal and illegally “flashed” another deputy. Right. Anyway...When we had gotten to my sisters earlier in the day the show Live PD had been on the TV and I had not realized Baby Girl was paying attention until she started asking questions. Remember I have to keep it simple. “They were doing something bad so the police are taking them to jail” was how I explained the stops with lights and handcuffs. We turned the channel. Well pitch black dark, bright blue flashing lights, a jumpy, barking dog and an autistic eight year old are not a good combination on a traffic stop. I was on the phone listening as Big tried to explain to the officer while Baby Girl hollered over and over from the back seat “Please don’t take Sissy to jail!” “She’s a good girl!” Bless her heart. 🚨🐕💔
