A little girl went to a police station to confess a serious crime, but what she said left the officer completely shocked.

“I’ve got a couple of minutes,” he said gently. “How can I help you?”

The father stepped aside. “Sweetheart, this is a real police officer. You can tell him what you’ve been trying to tell us.”

The little girl looked carefully at the uniform, her small face trembling.

“Are you really a police officer?” she asked between sobs.

“I really am,” he smiled. “See the badge? See the uniform?”
