Two highway patrol cars: Double the ticketing fun

So we were on the highway the other day, coming home from Grandpa's birthday party when we saw two patrol cars in the median of the highway. They were facing different directions - driver's door to driver's door.

We were coming up on a speed zone and I told Lydia to make sure she watched her speed and pointed the patrol cars out to her.

Anne, ever curious Annie, said, "Huh... There's two of 'em. What are they doin?"

Lydia said, "I don't know, probably talking."

Anne agreed, "Yeah, they're probably giving each other tickets."

Then followed many giggles from the back seat as she enjoyed her own funny little joke.
Or maybe it was because Lydia and I were laughing...
Or maybe it was because the idea of two policemen writing each other tickets tickled her funny bone.

There was a reference to "pulling you down" - her way of describing being pulled over, or being stopped for a ticket.
