00:00Mary Beth Perry.
00:05Good morning.
00:06Good morning.
00:07Who's Mary Beth?
00:07I am.
00:08And this is your daughter?
00:10Yes.
00:10And you drive the car?
00:12Yes.
00:12And that's why you're here today, right?
00:13Yes.
00:14Because the car's registered to your mom.
00:15Yes.
00:17And I want to congratulate you, right?
00:19Right, because you get the summons in your name
00:23because she drives the car.
00:24And you said to her, you're coming to court
00:26because it's your violation.
00:28Correct.
00:29Congratulations.
00:30I like that.
00:32It drives me to distraction when a mother
00:34or a relative would come in, the grandmother
00:36or the father, and say, it wasn't me,
00:38it was my son or my daughter.
00:40You know, and I say, but where are they?
00:41Right.
00:42I say, oh, they're home, they're sleeping or something.
00:44You know, they're not here.
00:46But you, you're coming to court.
00:49Right.
00:50Yes.
00:51And now you are going to get this.
00:52You want to borrow it?
00:55Yes, I do.
00:58Did you two always get along this well?
00:59I mean, you seem to have a wonderful relationship.
01:02Oh, middle school, high school, not so much.
01:05But we've, yes, we've.
01:06I think so.
01:08No, since she went to college, it's a game changer.
01:11It's been wonderful.
01:13Oh, you know why?
01:14No.
01:15Because she appreciates, it's her mother now.
01:18She does.
01:19See?
01:19She does.
01:20When she was living with you at home, right?
01:21Correct.
01:22You did the cooking, you took care of the house.
01:24Correct.
01:25You made sure she was okay.
01:26Yes.
01:28And all of a sudden, life hit her in the face, right?
01:30Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
01:31She's going to be a rising senior.
01:33I'm very proud of her, but I wasn't proud of this.
01:35She said, she's like, I think I panicked, I got lost.
01:38I said, well, you're supposed to slow down
01:40and maybe pull over, not, you know, zoom around
01:43trying to find your way to 95, so.
01:46I want to tell you something.
01:47Yes.
01:48If this is the biggest problem that you're having
01:50with your daughter, I know.
01:52You've done a great job.
01:53Thank you, thank you.
01:54Just trying to teach, being an adult and accountability.
01:58We're going to take a look at this red light violation.
02:01Okay.
02:11So she told you she was in a hurry, right?
02:13Correct.
02:14She wasn't lying.
02:15No.
02:18I'm going to give you the Mother of the Week Award
02:21in the Providence Municipal Court, right?
02:24Great, and what is that?
02:26It may be the Mother of the Year by the end of the year,
02:27but at least it's Mother of the Week, this week, okay?
02:30It's going to cost you a court cost of $35.
02:33Okay.
02:33It's not going to go on your record.
02:34Good luck to you.
02:36Good luck.
