The Crazy Things Children Will Do.

As a father of a soon to be three year old boy and another boy on the way soon, I can tell you that this story I found on Yahoo! would have scared the bajeebus out of me had it happened to my child. I think I can understand what that father was feeling.

A brief summary of the story is that a three year old boy and his two year old friend were playing with a toy Mustang GT (apparently large enough to ride in). They decided to take it for a joy ride and went several blocks on busy roads before being pulled over by the police. According to reports they followed the traffic signs and obeyed the traffic laws (except the fact that their “Car” probably wasn’t street legal).

It all had a happy ending after the the police picked up the boys about five blocks from their home. The little boy was quoted as saying “We went for a ride, daddy.” At which point I as a father would have collapsed from the stress and started with hysterical laughter.
