Stories like this lead to the question “what was this person thinking” and the obvious answer is “they weren’t”…..

ROUND LAKE PARK, Ill. (AP)  – A parent teaching a relative to drive?   That’s cool.   But if the child is just 11, it isn’t so cool.   Authorities in Round Lake Park, Illinois have issued an arrest warrant for a man who they say let an 11-year-old family member drive herself to school.   Making things worse, if that’s possible, is that the car the man let the girl drive was a stolen rental.   And to top that off, there was a 9-year-old girl in the back seat. The kids got out when the vehicle arrived at the school and the man hopped into the driver’s seat and left. Police say if the kid driver had lost control, there could have been “any number of tragic scenarios.”   The arrest warrant says 31-year-old Khafilu Oshodi faces two counts of child endangerment and one for driving with a suspended license.

Why buy your kid a $350 hat when you know it’s going to get lost…  they are middle schoolers!

GREAT NECK, N.Y. (AP)  – Lots of kids in middle school end up losing their winter hats at school.   And when that happens, it’s usually no big deal.   But if the hats cost a small fortune, it’s a big deal.   That’s what’s happening at a
middle school in Great Neck, New York, where kids have been rocking Italian-made Moncler hats.   The knit hats with fur pom-poms cost as much as $350.    School administration officials say when the hats go missing, it raises an
uproar and so, they’ve sent a letter home to parents asking them to ask students to leave their fancy lids at home. One parent was left cold by the letter, calling it “silly” and says if kids lose their hats and “freak out, they freak out.”
