"You Can't Give me a Ticket"

Sometime around 1971, before the folks moved to Eagle, Mom would drive from home in Boise to teach at Eagle Elementary.

One day, during dinner, she told Herb "I got a ticket today, but I shouldn't have".
"What happened?" asked Dad.

Mom said when she got to school the cop was behind her with his lights on...and was pretty mad.
He said "I've been following you for miles.  Didn't you see my lights or hear my siren.  You failed to stop at a stop sign coming onto Ustick".

Mom handed Dad the ticket and he looked at it.  "This says he's a Boise City cop, and you were in Eagle."

Mom's response was one of her usual ones; "so what?"

"Well...." Dad never got the chance to finish.

"I told him he can't give me a ticket"

"Why? Because you stopped at the stop sign?"

"No, I told him he can't give me a ticket because I don't have a license."

Sure enough, Mom didn't have a license.  It had expired years before.

She only was cited for the failure to stop ticket.
