Drunk Dinner Flat

This weekend Adam's Mom, Dad and Step Dad all came to visit us for Adam's last game.  It was a lot of fun!  Brent and his Mom came Friday night  and we all went out to dinner.  Dinner was great, but after that it was a huge mess!  First of all the town we went to eat in is about 10 min away.  Which is fine b/c it's an easy drive.  But once we started driving, the car started to shake pretty bad.  Adam pulled over and we had a flat.  We went back to the town and he fixed the tire.  It was really fast but I felt bad for him since he was in his dress cloths still and it was cold out.  Not to mention he was very full.  Once we got the tire fixed we got back on the road...Over the hill there were flashing lights.  It was a DUI check point.  There were about 8 cop cars and tons of police officers everywhere.  We stopped and the officer asked Adam what he had to drink.  Adam told him 2 beers at dinner-which was true.  We were all so nervous.  Adam has his commercial drivers license, which makes his legal limit-.02 or something like that.  So the officer asked him for his license and registration-which we found out 2 minutes later had EXPIRED!   They made Adam do the finger test to see if he was drunk and then they left for about 10 minutes.  Adam only had some drinks with dinner and wasn't even near drunk, but he was nervous-We were both very nervous as New Mexico is VERY strict on drinking and driving.  We were kind of laughing about how we never thought Adam would get pulled over for drunk driving with his Mom in the car.

Finally the officer let us go with a warning about our expired plates, we were very lucky and I went home and took the longest pee ever.
