Are the Cops After Emily?

Emily and I were playing in the house today when we heard a police siren.  She suddenly got stiff and literally lost color in her face.  I was worried for a brief second and asked her what was wrong!  She took a deep breath and then swallowed.  "Do you think they're coming for me?" she said.  Honestly, she was serious.

"No!  They're not coming for you Emily!" I told her.  Then I asked why she thought they were looking for her.  "Well, sometimes I don't tell the truth or eat snacks around here after you tell me not to!" she added in a frantic voice.  I assured her she was fine and told her that is not what the police officers crack down on.  That is what Mommy and Daddy will crack down on.  Then I put her in jail.

(I didn't really put her in jail.)
