Don’t Go Below The Belt

(While driving, my little sister, my mom, and I see a police car.)

Five-Year-Old Sister: “Mommy, would the policeman put me in jail if I didn’t wear my seatbelt?

Mom: “No, because it would be my fault. Adults are responsible for things like that.”

Five-Year-Old Sister: “So, the policeman would put YOU in jail?”

Me: *with a completely serious face* “Yes, sister. The policeman would put mom in jail for 30 YEARS. You wouldn’t want that to happen, would you”

(My sister looked completely shocked while my mom tried her very best not to laugh.)
