Okay, folks…on tonight's news in my city a mom was arrested for driving with her 3 year old on the roof of her car. The mom's “reasoning”: she wanted the toddler to be cooler and have some “fun”…What has happened to society??? As a mom, I can't imagine thinking along these terms...I've raised two stepdaughters and two daughters of my own and would have never thought this was brilliant idea.I know this has nothing at all to do with history but I'm stunned...
Do you happen to live in Marathon, Florida? I saw this story linked to on Drudge:Grandma arrested for driving with child on roof
We have no children, but I couldn't see myself doing that to make my toddler have “fun”.WTH is wrong with people???
I don't live in Florida but the woman arrested is originally from Indiana, I guess. She made the evening news up here big-time with that connection. Even the broadcaster reading the story had a “what the heck” look on her face.
Lmao, Donald…yeah, I'm a Hoosier. The good points are: the Indy 500, the Brickyard, Hoosier cantalope & white sweet corn in the summer; the bad points: our dern winters!!! I absolutely detest ice and snow…am trying to convince the spouse that Arizona is a lovely state all year around…
+110 degrees 4 or 5 months out of the year is lovely?
Add to that front yards made out of pebbles rather than a lawn of fresh, green grass. :'(

I'll take your Indiana winter and trade you our NE PA winter 😉

okie dokie, I'll take your NE PA snow and trade you our ice AND our tornadoes in the spring & summer. The heat in AZ doesn't bother me that much; we've been there several times visiting my aunt. Because the humidity is much lower there than in Indiana, I think that's why I like it. Plus, I love being able to visit mountains and the desert all in one day. Indiana certainly doesn't offer that difference in scenery.

WWOOAAHH...you didn't say anything about including tornadoes in the deal! 😮BTW, we get some ice.....mostly snow thoughOn 2nd thought, you can keep your flatlander weather ;D
I have said for years that it is ironic that I have to have a license to go fishing but any idiot can have a baby. Yet we are still surprised when idiot parents or grandparents do stupid things.
On a somewhat related note, I have thought that there is something wrong with needing a fishing license. It seems to me that when a man is down on his luck and needs to eat/feed his family he ought to have the ability to do something so utterly basic like fish for food without having to get a license. This should be a fundamentally-recognized right of his to survive through his own labor in areas (lakes, rivers) that are held for the public.Sorry for the digression.

Have you and my husband been talking to one another?? That's the exact thing he's said with each "dumb-parent/grandparent-stupid-people-trick" report... ;D

No, but just based on that, I would probably enjoy drinking a beer and BSing with him.
