Parents sometimes attempt to learn the slang and habits of their children in an effort to seem “cool.” However, these attempts are often met with disapproval from the kids.

While people might assume that police officers are the strictest and most uptight parents, this isn’t always the case. In fact, some officers become quite laid-back after a few years on the job.

Whatever the reason, it likely played a role in this amusing and potentially incriminating text conversation.
