As we drove through the neighborhood, my daughter pointed out the police station where her preschool class had gone for a field trip. I asked her what she had learned on the field trip. “We went into the jail!” she answered. My jaw dropped.
“What? You mean they actually put you in a jail cell?”
“Yeah, but don’t worry—they didn’t lock us in. We were just visiting.”
