“Angel” Michigan Police Officer makes a Big Difference
At last a heart-warming story and Michigan Police Officer B. Hall shows us how it can easily work and be a win-win. When he pulled over a car because a 5-year old child was unsecured, he quickly learned that Mom had fallen on hard times and couldn’t afford a booster seat. Officer Hall took matters into his own hands and rather than issuing a ticket, purchased a booster seat for the astonished Mother. “A ticket wouldn’t solve the problem. What solves the problem is the child being in a booster seat. It was the easiest $50.00 I ever spent,” says Officer Hall to this no-brainer.

Whenever I hear someone describing a set of twins and they refer to them as “two twins,” I have to smile. Twins IS two, so why say, “the two twins?” Sort of like describing a red barn and calling it “the red red barn.” Exacting how red can the barn be? This is a very common mistake and the only place “two twins” would work is if one is describing two twins, one of two different sets. Such a discussion wouldn’t come up very often in every day life. It makes me wonder too, although I have yet to hear it, if triplets are referred to as “the three triplets?” Probably not. So folks, here we have it: Twins = Two, so the “two” in front of twins is usually redundant. Best best wishes! LOL
