Sometimes wisdom does NOT come with age, ...just senility
Grandma Held For Allegedly Giving 3Yr Old A Ride
...On Top Of Her Car
Friday August 8, 2008
They say with age comes wisdom. But not if what police in Marathon, Florida say happened there actually took place.
A 54-year-old grandmother has been charged after police were called to a grocery store on Tuesday for a report even they had trouble believing: a woman was driving around the parking lot with her three-year-old granddaughter sitting on the roof of the car.
Incredulous cops stopped the granny and asked what in the world was going on. The woman allegedly told them she was trying to give the baby "some air" and let her have some fun by taking her for the jaunt.
And she couldn't understand why authorities were hassling her, pointing out she was driving at "snail speed" and holding onto the kid's leg the whole way.
Granny was booked and held for 15 hours before being released. Police drove the child home to her mother - making sure she was inside the vehicle the whole way.
