Bear Claw Kid

I can not stop laughing.  It should not be funny but I can not stop laughing.  Please read. (By the way, when I copied this picture from the news website it was titled bear_claw_kid which I think is also hilarious.)


I want to be annoyed at this Mom.  All up on my pedestal preaching about how it should never be possible to not know where your child is, even for a second.  Unfortunately I can relate, in a much less hilarious and not nearly as serious way...and frankly I simply can not stop laughing.

There I was one afternoon, putting a basket of laundry away.  I happen to glance out the window in Oliver's room and there he is, heading up to the playhouse in the so-called woods in our backyard.  In the 62 seconds I was away from him off he went.  I can't even imagine what I would have thought if I came downstairs and couldn't find him.  I would have died.

So just imagine how relieved this mom was to find out her kid was in the claw machine.  I laugh every time I think about it.

Police:  "Mam we've found your son.  He is safe.  He is across the street stuck in a claw machine."

Mom:  "Oh thank God.  I am so relieved!"

Ok folks.  Your turn.  Share your kids wandering off stories.  Band together Mama's...we are not alone!
