You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

A run in with the LAW

Dallin and Tyler were playing in the front yard yesterday.  Travis and I were lounging in the family room, when the front door opens and we hear an adult female voice saying "WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?" Immediately Travis got up and went to the door to find out that Tyler had told Dallin to throw a rock at the neighbor's as they passed in their new red truck....So he did....it freaked them out and he dented the driver's side door with a ding the size of a quarter/golf ball.  Well, the wife flipped out....and went on and on about how he could've hit her husband (his window was down) or her 2 1/2 year old in the back seat, and Travis was trying to tell her to calm down - she wouldn't have anything to do with it...she kept yelling getting more upset at Travis that he wasn't taking it more seriously....his response "Listen, I'm sorry, we will pay to fix your door, what would you like me to do about it, go inside and beat my 4 year old?  He's 4!"  Her reply..."No..." She was so mad that she wouldn't calm down and Travis ended up raising his voice and finally when they were getting no where - he said Listen - I told you I would pay for it, I'm sorry it happened....if you really feel like you need to call the police, I'll be in my house.      So, they insisted and they called the police.


As soon as Dallin heard the police were going to come , he went hysterical and ran upstairs yelling to Gwendalin " GWENNIE, HIDE ME! THE POLICE ARE COMING!"  as he was sobbing in hysteria.  It was terrifying for him.  As the police arrived you can see that Tyler and Dallin watched through the front windows to see what was going on and when the policeman would come to our door.

When he finally did - he agreed with Travis that they had completely overreacted and took our information and left it at that....He didn't want Dallin to be scared of Policeman, so he just told Travis and I to have a little chat with the boys, and we did.  Today after heads had cooled - Travis took the boys over and apologized to them once more and tried to smooth things over.  I think they are ok - we are going to pay to fix their truck and hopefully they can be civil to us.
