The other day, a (male) cop is wandering around our housing complex. My daughter looks at his Batman-esque utility belt and says, "Hey, I thought only ladies carried pepper spray!"

     I think she caught him off-guard and maybe even embarressed him a bit, because he just mumbled something and walked away.  Kids can get away with saying stuff like that.  If I said something like that, well,  I'd end up kissing the hood of a squad car.

     But then, a bonus, a second helping, an extra treat.  She turns to me, and says (much more loudly) "Hey Dad!  I thought only ladies carried pepper spray!  That policeman has pepper spray on his belt!"  And then she giggles a little bit.  Priceless.
