United Press International reports

A California mother shared video of her 3-year-old daughter being "let off with a warning" by an officer who caught her driving a Barbie Jeep without a license.

Serenity Hanna posted a video to Facebook showing her 3-year-old daughter, Davy, having a run-in with a Huntington Beach Police officer.

"No license, no registration", the officer says, "What are we going to do about this?"

The little girl hits the accelerator and attempts to flee the scene, sparking an ultra slow-speed pursuit.

"I can't believe this is happening", Hanna says through laughter.

"Our 3 year old daughter had a run in with HBPD this evening while out for a drive", she wrote in the Facebook post. "Even though she tried to flee the scene, the officer let her off with a warning and a badge sticker. We failed to ask this officer's name but he made our day and gave us a story to tell our family for years to come!"

    Yeah, I have to say I was questioning myself earlier today because I submitted an article last night on studies about preschool curricula that I found interesting, because I saw the submission queue was really low. This morning I found myself thinking -- was that really on-topic for this site?

    Then I saw this story. I don't feel bad anymore.

    Whether it is a slow news day or not, it's nice to have little breaks like this. I would think it would be hard to politicize it, difficult to be cynical about it, but everyone here proved you can still do it :P

    I know we like technical articles, and love articles about science without paywalled bs, but this is a news site. Sometimes, even on serious news, it's nice to hear a pleasant story that can delude us for just a little bit into believing we live in a nice place.

    Little cute and funny things like this may not be the main content, but I would think a sprinkling or two wouldn't be a bad thing.
