You Might Be a Cop's Wife If....

From 12/12/04

Except for a select few who are married to cops, this may not be all that funny, but what the heck here goes anyway, I hope you enjoy.

You Might Be a Cop's Wife If:

*You talk more in code than English sometimes. "10-4, hon."
*Your husband seems to hang up his brain with his badge/gun at the end of the day.
*DH shouts at the TV "That's not proper police procedure!" Every time you watch NYPD Blue . *You have ammo in you bedside table instead of, well whatever normal people put in there. *Your husband bought you a bullet proof vest for your birthday, "just in case"
*You have more paper targets up than wall paper.
*Your bathroom material and the secret stash of mags under the bed are both "Guns and Ammo"
*At work your husband can remember a suspect's name, DOB, drivers license number and AKAs but at home he can't remember to take out the trash on Mondays.
*Your husband asks to see the ID of everyone who comes to the door including the mail man. *You have ever been at a mall/grocery store/video store/restaurant/children's birthday party and suddenly had to leave because your husband saw someone he arrested.
*DH drives like he is in Nascar when in his own personal vehicle, forgetting he is not in a patrol car.
*When you go out to dinner, your husband, points out which waiter, customer or cook is on meth, vicodin etc.
*Your husband can't figure out why everyone isn't getting out of his way, in traffic, like they do when he is at work.
And finally:
*That is a gun in his pocket, even if he is happy to see you. (These were all based on fact, let me know if you think of any others. Chris is gonna kill me when he reads this one!)

*If you get annoyed because you catch your husband looking at videos online-and they're police training videos/traffic stops gone wrong.

"it doesn't bother you when he talks about touching a prostitute or being at a bar or strip club all night... and he never goes near them when he's off"

I totally relate! Ir is nice to have someone who gets it.

*If everyone at church gets annoyed cause they can't get ahold of you because your number is unlisted :)

My hubby is a cop of 3 1/2 years.

*If you have to expain to your 3 year old why Daddy wears a gun.

You, your husband, and child can hold a conversation in 10 codes....

I dispatch for my husband and sometimes out of habit we talk in 10 codes at home. I had to warn my childs pre-k teacher that she talks in 10 codes too....

Your husband reaches for the radar switch in his personal vehicle when on coming traffic approaches...

What DO normal people keep in their bedside tables? I haven't a clue... ours are full of glocks, tasers, OC spray, extra magazines, random bullets...

"If your husband runs all of your friends/neighbors/coworkers/relatives through NCIC on a semi-regular basis!"

How about:

You always walk on his left side or Your back is always to the door when you go out.

How about a fancy meal is when you get out of the car. How about ordering from a menu at a table instead of a board!

You might be a cop's wife if every time you go out to dinner he won't sit with his back to the door and has to have a visual of all the exits...

This blog had me cracking up! My husband always yells at the TV when I watch any crime related show! I'm a Rookie Wife, my husband has been on the force just over a year and we've been marred almost four months! It's definitely been fun learning how to be a rookie's wife! (: Thanks for the entertaining post!
