Did you ever imagine that a story about a carjacking could make you smile? Especially one where the car was stolen with a child inside? Read this story from Free-Range Kids.
When the thieves realized they had stolen an eight-year-old boy along with the car, they asked him where he wanted to get out, and he answered with the name of his elementary school—which is where his mother had been taking him when she stopped to do a quick errand. The thieves obliged.
My favorite line of the story is Lenore Skenazy's:
So the real moral of the story is this: Kids need better training. When carjacked and asked, “Where would you like to go?” they should be ready to reply, “GameStop,” or perhaps, “McDonald’s.” This unprepared kid was involved in a real life Grand Theft Auto and didn’t even get to even miss first period.
