She Was Perplexed By The Officer’s Attitude
We can’t blame her. Her reaction to Kevin’s intervention was one of annoyance. When he punished her with a fine she couldn’t pay, it was the last thing she needed. She was surprised, though, when he gave a verbal warning rather than a written one. She was taken aback by it.

When he inquired about her children’s weights and the reasons for not using car seats,
things became even weirder. Her excuse was that she didn’t have the money to buy them. Without saying a word, she was then escorted away.
