Grumpy Police - Helpful Kids
I was noticing the police. The large numbers, variety of agencies and means of transportation they were using. This officer drove his vehicle into a crowd and promptly got stuck. He did what every novice would do, simply spun the wheels resulting in getting stuck even deeper. I could feel his embarrassment. I almost enjoyed it. Not so, the first group of guys that came along. They simple asked if he wanted help and literally lifted the vehicle out of the hole. The officer was so eager to depart the scene that I think he forgot to say thank you. Kids are great. Us older kids can learn a lesson from them.
