You're a violator, baby!

Yesterday afternoon Miley pushed the alarm Panic button on my key remote. It's happened before and probably will again but this time ADT didn't call to make sure everything was okay. Oh well I guess they figured it was an accident. I start cleaning up the living room, Stephen goes to the backyard to water the garden, and Miley is watching Elmo. 10 minutes go by and all the sudden Stephen pops his head in from the back door "The cops are here." "What?" then the door bell rings.

I answer the door and sure enough it's a policeman. He's tries peeking in the house and says "Is everything alright, is someone hurt? We received a medical panic alert." I tell him that our toddler pushed the button and that usually ADT calls right away. The guy was really nice about it all, but he has to write us a false alarm notice. If we get 3 more in the next year, we have to pay a $50 fine. About this time, Stephen comes around the corner and the cop explains the notice to him. "It says you're the violator, but this isn't a big deal really." Stephen says "Maybe Miley should sign it then." Miley hears her name and walks to the door to check out what is going on (Elmo's over so she has returned to the land of the living). The cop points his finger at her and says "You're a violator, baby!" The way he said it was so funny that we can't help but laugh. Miley smiles then starts pulling on me to come and get 'nack.

Only 21 months old and she's already been in trouble with the law.
