citizen's arrest

 the 'burbs is a movie my family has quoted a lot over the years.  it is one of our old favorites.  when za husband and i were dating, i asked him the important questions.  you know, like......have you ever heard of the 'burbs?  his response...yes, i love that movie.  i own it.  that's when i knew we were a match made in heaven.  not really but he certainly went up a few more points in my book.

tonight we went on a date.  during our drive home i noticed the car in front of us was all over the road.  i am 99% sure the person was drunk.  i watched for a little bit but when the driving got worse i called the police.  first time in my life i've ever done that.  that is how bad this person was driving.  i gave the police all of the proper information then we followed the vehicle at a safe distance.  i got increasingly anxious as the vehicle continued to swerve all over the road and the police didn't show.  so i turned to will and say "citizen's arrest, citizen's arrest!"  those of you who know the 'burbs might appreciate that quote.  anyway we did our part but the police never showed.  i took a few more notes on the vehicle, location, and time as they pulled into a residential area just in case the highway patrol decided to call me back.  if i were a little more brave i would have definitely pulled the citizen's arrest scene from the 'burbs.  maybe we didn't save the day but at least we got a good laugh from my quote at the perfect moment.
