Lights & Sirens

I am so excited (besides the fact I had 3 interviews today with great companies and I have another lined up for next week) - my dad picked me up from the train station in his new cop car. I immediately raced to the car and asked him did this mean we were testing out the lights and sirens in this bad boy - he laughed at me and called me crazy.

But let me explain - I have such a fascination with his job - it's like watching tv, but up close and personal - when his blackberry goes off and he runs upstairs to grab his police radio I am right on his heels - this means something is going on - ironically, through twitter I sometimes update him before he even knows some things have happened and then he jumps in motion - so I am like his personal assistant, right?!

In any event, I have been begging and pleading with him to let me ride in his car with the lights & sirens blaring in similar police pursuit action - I even use tv as my defense (we love all the cop shows and watch them together) - dad look Commissioner Reagan took his daughter and she isn't even a cop - she's a lawyer - he took her to the range too and Danny took his niece when he was visiting a crime scene, so that little boy experienced it, but not me - that's not fair dad (re: Blue Bloods) - he always calls me crazy -

Since we were getting close to home I started negotiating - I told him just do a small part of the street - then he says he hasn't even used the lights and sirens in this car yet - so I responded well dad, we should test this out, you would hate to need them and find out they don't work (although I am sure their mechanics checked this before giving him the car) - he kept looking at these buttons on the dashboard - and I exclaimed ARE THOSE THE BUTTONS as my fingers started itching to touch - and he said if I put the lights on, you can't see them from the inside and then he flicked the switch and we had lights folks - woohooooooooooooo and yes, I could see their reflection when I turned around to look - so I started mimicking the sound and asked where were the sound effects - next thing you know we had action, LIGHTS AND SIRENS - and yes, it was as exhilarating as I thought it would be - the only thing I didn't get was the cop like pursuit - but I knew that wasn't going to happen - lol! Officially crossing that off of my 30 before 30 list.

Do you guys thing he will cave in and take me to the gun range next?!
