I've been talking about the morons we get driving here in Dubai, but here's a reminder that we don't have exclusivity.
There's an AP report that tells us:
A grandmother has been arrested for driving around the parking lot of a Florida grocery store with a three -year-old child sitting on the roof of the car.
Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested a 54-year-old woman after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.
The woman said she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.
Authorities say the woman told police she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun.

Ex resident of the UAE possibly??
ReplyDeleteh it's at snails speed! nd she was holding a leg! the most that would happen is she'd have just a leg in her hand, while the rest would be splattered on the ground. not a biggie.
ReplyDeleteAnother one for the Darwin Awards! I say let her carry on!!
ReplyDeletethe other day i saw a car on SZR where 2 kids had almost half their bodies out of the window. Apparently enjoying the breeze!!! I just could not believe this was happening.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to the Kruger National Park in South Africa with my folks.... We were in a Volkswagon microbus so it was nice & high & the windows were plenty big enough to hang out of.
ReplyDeleteWe'd stopped at a lion kill - a whole pride of lions around an impala.... and my mom was totally freaking out that my brother & I were sitting on the window ledge with the top half of our bodies outside the bus. Like those lions were even giving us a second glance with all that bloody impala being ripped apart a few meters away on the ground....!
