Oops

I know nothing. I did nothing, I saw nothing. I heard nothing. Look at the daily writing prompt asking – Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Nope, each time I did, I knew what I was doing.

As Eddie Murphy famously said in one of the Beverly Hills Cop movies — “I wasn’t always a cop. And Rosewood answers, He’s fractured an occasional law.”

We didn’t know pulling the cars up and using there lights to play night basketball wasn’t legal.

That makes all the other times intentional. Because there is a phase that goes “ignorance of the law is no excuse. “

As Sergeant Shultz used to say “I know nothing, nothing”
