Officer Sherman

Today we have Lindser-Lou. This girl has some serious craft skills, her husband looks like the lead singer of Rascall Flatts (or maybe Jason Hervey... I can never decide.), and she has a killer sense of humor. Seriously, she's a rockstar.

Seeing as how I don’t have any children of my own yet, I like to come by the Bingham Diaries and see what exciting little adventures Mombabe’s little ones have gotten into. Because it is only my husband and I, we are usually lacking in the funny story department.

Until recently…when my husband graduated from the Police Academy and became an officer for the City of Phoenix. It was an exciting day, and he couldn’t wait to put on his {in my opinion} sexy uniform and duty belt and show me his gun and all the other cool stuff they get to use.

After a few weeks on duty and talking to some of the other guys, he decided that he needed a new set of handcuffs to have for backup. They are the super heavy duty hinged ones, that are extremely uncomfortable and usually reserved for the jerks who aren’t cooperating. They took weeks to order and he was so excited when they finally came in.

The next day he was getting ready for work, a night shift from 3pm-1am, and I walked into the room and saw that he was trying to find a spot for his new cuffs on his belt.

I asked casually,"so, do you think you'll get to break in those new cuffs tonight?"

He immediately froze...and then looks at me and says,



"Well hun, um.... I dont get home till really late...and... I'll be tired from my shift..."



Oh geez.



"I meant AT WORK,you creep."

Clearly Officer Sherman and I are not understanding one another.
