Just Don’t Forget Your Paperwork

Sidney Fahrenbruch, 4, of Longmont, Colo., has wanted to be a police officer for at least a year. According to her mom, Megan, the girl has a specially sized police uniform, and often brings officers gifts, like cookies. When she went to a barbecue, they met Officer David Bonday. “She brought her police outfit with the hat,” her mom said, “And he let her play with the sirens and it was all over.” Sidney asked Bonday to come help her search her new house — for monsters. Bonday agreed, and searched the house with the girl. “Definitely no monsters in the house,” Bonday declared at the end. Megan Fahrenbruch admitted her daughter doesn’t really believe in monsters — but she did smell an opportunity to hang out with an officer. (MS/KMGH Denver, AP) ...Someday she may help search for real monsters — and that’s a good thing.
