When I was little i remember my mom coming home saying she had been fired. I remember being scared to death every day when she would go looking for a job that she would come home all burned up.
Now on a lighter note I told my then 16 year old daughter that an undercover cop making a traffic stop with his bubble light that he was a citizen making a citizens arrest. She asked what that was. I told her that as a US citizen you are allowed to make them when you see people doing something wrong. She wanted to know where he got the bubble light. I told her she should have been issued one with her license (which she had just gotten) She said she had not. Then my husband chimed in and said, "Remember they changed that law. You only get your bubble light after your third citizens arrest." She believed this for a couple hours.
