Stories can be entertaining for lots of reasons. Often the general gist of the story carries the comedy…and sometimes there that one extra detail that makes it a truly great piece of entertainment.
Today’s story of a six-year-old boy who “borrowed” his grandmother’s car is one of those stories.
A six year old driving is funny. Stealing his grandmother’s car keys in order to drive is even better. The fact that he was just really hungry and decided to drive to Applebee’s is nearing the top of the comedy chart.
But the kicker to this story is that he actually went in the back seat, grabbed his car seat, and placed it in the driver’s seat before taking off. The kid knew exactly what he wanted, chose to do it safely, just flubbed the execution of the driving.
So what that he knocked out power to 200 people when the car crashed. That’s a small price to pay for a great story.
