MARATHON, Florida-

When it comes to screw ups with the kids, it always seems to be either mom or dad. How often does it turn out grandma is the one who screwed up? In this case, granny must have been on drugs or something because what she did was absolutely inexcusable, and to put it proper terms, just plain unbelievable. So crazy, in fact, I am struggling to put it into words.

Basically, the story goes something like this: Grandma was watching her 3-year-old granddaughter and had taken her to the grocery store. Later police were called to the Publix grocery store because of an odd 911 report. Evidently, grandma thought it would be okay for her to show the little one some fun, so she put the child on the roof of her car and drove around the parking lot. When police arrived and arrested the idiot she said she didn’t think her little granddaughter was having enough fun and that she needed some fresh air. I can only imagine the look on the police officer’s face when that was her rational. After the incident the idiot went on record and said she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter and that she said she was driving at “snail-speed” while holding the child’s leg. Well, that makes it all okay now, doesn’t it?

Fifteen hours after the event, granny was released from jail. I highly doubt she will be watching the little angel anytime before her 35^th birthday. Do people just have temporary lapses in judgment or are they just plain stupid? This is not the sort of thing you lapse in judgment, so I’m gonna have to say in this case she’s just stupid.

The moral of the story: This is such a ridiculous story, there is no moral.
