Punk'd?


When we first moved to Arizona in August Shane went through any number of trials.


Most of his trials involved sickness and the DMV. (that blasted DMV!)


I'll spare you all the details and stories....just know that it was a lot!


It was almost as if the world was conspiring against him, trying to break him.


Luckily, it didn't work. I've got a strong man here. :)


Even though there were a lot of really hard things that happened during this time, there were also a few that are quite comical in retrospect. (we can laugh now, right Shane?)


We were talking the other day and I was reminded of one of these experiences.


When we first got here Shane didn't have a car, just his motorcycle.


Have you ever ridden a motorcycle in AZ in the middle of August?


Needless to say Shane didn't want to wear his full helmet with face shield, so he wore his little helmet with no face or eye cover.


So one day Shane is on his motorcycle and a cop pulls up beside him and yells at him for not having "protective eyewear" on. He then instructs Shane to pull over to this empty lot on the side of the road.


Shane dutifully pulls over and waits.


He's wondering if he's gonna get a ticket or what.


Still waiting.


Looking around.


Still waiting.


Finally, after about 10 minutes he wonders why he is still waiting and takes off.
What was that all about?


I told him I think that the cop and his friends were watching him from across the street to see how long he would wait there.


He totally got punk'd.

That is so funny. Poor Shane. He really has had too many poopie :) experiences since he moved here. Maybe he's questioning if you're not some kind of witch queen vexing him with voodoo. :) Hopefully Arizona will start being good to him soon. We can't have the reputation that we're WORSE than UTAH. Ew.

That's totally funny, and yet so random that you chose now to finally share that.
