Law and Order

*I have a student in class that was called down to the police station for questioning regarding a past teacher/student relationship.  The boy was very nervous and concerned they would think he had something to do with it.  He says to me “I’m nervous about going to the station, what are they going to say to me?”  I assured him that they only wanted to ask him questions about his teacher from last year and are only collecting information that they may need.   He replied, “My dad is a cop so he is going with me.”   Later that week, the boy came in and told me that the questioning had gone very well and that they were indeed very nice.  He said that he thought he embarrassed his dad during the interview.  I asked him how he could possibly have embarrassed his officer father and the boy replied, “They kept asking me these questions, and they asked the same questions over and over to try to confuse me.  I looked at them and told them, you can’t confuse me, I watch Law and Order!”
