That could have turned in to a potential terrible situation. Second, AHAHAHAHA...I love that you asked your dad, "Can you turn down your decibels with these white people? They are not like us.” That is one of the funniest things I've heard in a long while. First, thank goodness everything is okay. That could have turned in to a potential terrible situation.

I can understand to a degree about making sure people aren't taken advantage and that's why we have litigation, but GOD....I want to slap that "lady" for her stupid behavior. I HATE it when people act like morons and think they are better than others. WHY did she wave your dad through? Lord....reminds me sometimes of the idiots we have over here who try to make trouble for no reason. Thank God you don’t live in the states or your poor dad might have been sued.

In the play I am working on, a lot about someone's guilt can be deducted by how they act - I'm sure the cops visiting with your father was part of understanding both sides. (And American's can be dumb, especially towards Arabs - wish that wasn't the case.)

When I posted about my little accident a few days ago, I wrote about how my dad and the other drivers' dad went balistic at each other, whereas us younger folk sorted the matter without any drama. Also, with regards to how impressed the cops were with your home, I think it was more because of the nature of your folks. Arabs (like Indians :D) are generally very hospitable and generally welcoming people. Furthermore, if you are a cop, they go all timid and ass-kissy. I bet your mom asked if they wanted a cup of tea! Either ways, our homes are frequently more inviting and thats why people feel comfy-er. Trust you to have all the fun stories! :P
