One time I was at church and wanted to take Ice Tea to go, but we ran out of proper cups. I had got this idea and thought, "Tara, you are genius! God really broke the mold when He made you!" (Pride goes before the fall) here it comes...

So I took a sourcream container and put a whole punch in the lid. I filled it with ice tea and proceeded to my car. I put it in the passenger seat on top of my Bible and other important paperwork! As I drove down the highway I looked over and noticed it was spilling everywhere (the hole punch was bigger than the straw)! I hastily pulled over and grabbed the ice tea with one hand and was wiping off my Bible and papers and throwing them quickly one after another into the back seat when comes a knock at my window! The officer said, "Ma'am have you been drinking tonight?" I said no. Then he shined his light on the sour cream container and said, "What's in there?" I replied, "Ice Tea". He says kinda under his breath, "yeah right". We then have a conversation about the "genius" idea! He finally believes me, then tells me, "Ma'am, do you realize you're not even pulled all the way off the road?" Needless to say I apologized and was allowed to go on my way. I have not given in to any genius ideas since!

Love and hugs,
Tara
