For my CURRIN EVENT (ha!) this week, I went to my favorite
current event website, and a title immediately caught my eye: ‘Police pull over
a 6-year-old who was out driving to get Chinese food’.
How could anyone resist reading that? I clicked on the link, and the actual article
was pretty much summed up by the title, but since I have to write three hundred
words, I shall provide you with the rest of the story. Ahem.
This whole thing happened in Michigan, which is apparently
where the Chinese food is REALLY good.
Citizens reported seeing a little boy driving a truck through the
village and hitting-and-running a street sign.
The police responded, and surrounded the truck with police cars. They pulled over the kid, who was only six
years old. The police then got the scoop
about what he was actually doing, and you’d think the kid does this every day. His response: “I was getting Chinese food.”
The police later found out that the truck was his dad’s, who
was sleeping the whole time his toddler stole his keys, backed out of the
driveway, and went for a Sunday drive into the village. No one was hurt during the incident, and the
kid (whose name was not revealed, which sucks because I want to name my kid
after him) admitted that he’d never driven or even sat on his dad’s lap and
steered before.
One thing I found interesting about this article is the way
the police pulled the kid over.
Apparently, they reached into the driver side window of the truck and
pulled the keys out of the ignition.
Now, I don’t know how fast the truck was going when they did this, but
either way, you have to admit that that’s pretty impressive.
Also, if that kid did not receive Chinese food after the
whole incident, there is something seriously wrong with this world.
