Cops and helmets

I mentioned in my post yesterday something about wearing helmets. Often. In the car. And now I have the most fabulous story in the whole world to tell you. And it goes like this.

So. I get out of seminary this morning. And I walk to my car. And I wrap myself in a blanket(it's getting cold, okay?) and then my sister, and the two kids I drive to seminary get in my car. Usually, I drive just one of those two kids home, cuz the other goes to public school. Weird. ;) Anyway. Since it was cold, she asked us to drive her to school. No biggie, we do it sometimes. Anyway. I make them all put their helmets on, and we drive over to the other side of the street. Buuut they were closing the gate and so I had to park on the side of the road. Right next to the cross walk. Now, this girl took FOREVER to get out of the car. So, as she's taking forever, a cop pulls up next to me. And I'm attempting to fix my helmet, cuz it's sliding all over the place. And Autumn next to me says, "Uhm...Aurora....there's a cop." So I look up all scared and see the cop. He's giving me this half amused, half pissed face, and then motions for me to drive down the road to a different area cuz apparently, you're not aloud to drop people off there. So, I drove down the road and dropped her off.

I'm not doing that again.

However, the awkward-funniness doesn't stop there.

So, the three of us drive home. And we drive through Nickolas' neighborhood(the kid I drive home), duh. Right before we enter his street, we see a man walking. It's Friday, so we're all hyper and hyped up on sugar. So Nickolas yells out the window, "YUMMY YUMMY!" and the man turns around. His face was priceless. Pissed, then surprised, then amused/confused. We kept driving, and down the block, there's a man with a dog. He yells, "NICE DOG!" We're all laughing at this point. Yes, we're obnoxious. It's okay. Anyway, so I said(laughing), "the next guy I see, I'm going to yell 'YUMMY YUMMY!'". The next guy we see is across the street from Nickolas' house, and he's smoking(not hot. A cigarette). Well, I used my better judgement and decided not to yell at him. However, my sophomore sister, did not use her better judgement. And she yelled, LOUDLY, "YUMMY YUMMY!!" Nickolas crouched over as he walked into his house, cuz he didn't want his neighbor seeing him with the crazy people wearing helmets.

On the way home, Autumn decided to treat me to breakfast, cuz she wanted to see the reaction of the people at Twisters(the bestest fast food mexican restaurant EVER). The lady at the window definitely did a double take would she saw us. When she handed us our food, I said, "Thankth." Yes, I used a lisp. Yes, she started out the window at us as we drove off.

It basically goes without saying that every day of my life is highly awkward. Also, I wouldn't have remembered all of this for Awkward Thursday next week, so it needed it's own post.
