It's 5:00 somewhere...but not here.
I was sitting in the now infamous car line, waiting not so patiently for the youngest of my offspring to grace me with her presence. Pateriko whispered to me (as if anybody else could hear him) "Mama, that lady is drinking a beer".
Beej: What lady?
Pateriko: That lady in the car right there. *points to the shiny pearl colored Ford Thunderbird parked beside us*
Beej: No way.
Pateriko: You just wait and watch.
Lady: *Lifts her can of Bud Light to her mouth with her well manicured hand as she mumbles something to herself*
Beej: No way.
Pateriko: Isn't that illegal?
Beej: Yes it is.
Pateriko: Should we call somebody?
Beej: I was thinking it would be way fun to call the police.
Long story short, we took her tag number and handed it to the policeman at the exit of the parking lot and told him our short story. Maybe I was butting in where I had no business, but I really couldn't think about a child riding home in that car. In hindsight I suppose I could have gotten out of the jeep and in a Gomer Pyle sort of way hollered "CITIZEN'S ARREST! CITIZEN'S ARREST!", but I have a feeling it wouldn't have gone so swimmingly for me as it did for him. This IS lower Alabama. I'd hate to make any of these rednecks too mad at me. Every last one of them is carrying a gun, you know.

omg...
she must have had one helluva rough day! But if so, why risk it with BUD LIGHT?! If you're gonna flaunt the law, might as well get a flask of The Good Stuff!!
Good for you for taking action. You are a model citizen! |

| what a dipshit... EVERYONE knows that if you are going to drink and drive that you should put your BL in a Big Gulp cup from the Grab-n-Go. |

Brandy took my thought, which is, if nothing else she should be arrested for drinking Bud Light. Now if we were talking Guinness or Chimay then yeah, you have to admire their style...just not their sense of judgement for the location.
Also, hello Beej...hello Coco. |

Oh, my goodness....
:-O
What on earth was she thinking putting children in a car while she was drinking? |

Well... then again... it WAS car line.
That's pretty weird tho, wonder what I'd have done. |

| You probably done right, but I have to remove a point for the redneck/gun thing, so you get a 99 out of 100. |

You sure it wasn't an oduell? It is what beer drinkers drink when they're not drinking beer.
or maybe she is recycling and refilled the beer can with water.
Or maybe it is her wicked step children that she was waiting to pick up.
Or maybe she was drinking a beer in that case, I think they should've impounded her car, and gun. |

Good for you. Drinking and driving is so freaking lame.
