She's a rootin'-tootin', two-gun-totin', perp-bashin' sheriff's deputy and I'm, like, where'd this come from?
  • Give her a couple of years

    Every first year law student I've ever met, including myself way back when, could talk of nothing but the constitution, torts and criminal law for a whole year. By their third year, you couldn't force them to talk about it.

    Sounds like your sister is just overly enthusiastic and consumed by her new role. She is making sure that she and everyone else now looks at her in a new light. She's probably young, and she's proud.

    Give her a year or two. You may never be thrilled that she's a cop, and you may never be able to relate to that way of thinking. But you might (we'll give you a couple of years too). In any case, she should mellow out about it over time and return to being the sister that you knew. Only you won't be able to break the law in front of her.
