So, I’m reading the MSN homepage this morning and the story flashes in front of my eyes:
Police: 6-year-old grabs wheel after dad passes out.
And I immediately click the link to go read it. In North Platte, Nebraska yesterday, a little boy named Tustin Mains saw his dad pass out. He jumped in his dad’s lap and steered his dads Avalanche to safety! His father apparently suffered from low blood sugar (poor guy) and his little six year old jumped out the back seat into his lap and steered the car, which was doing about 10-15 miles per hour (his dad’s foot wasn’t on the accelerator) and steered it around town, he even turned around when he entered a neighborhood he wasn’t familiar with! He maneuvered the pickup till a police officer, Freeze, could hop in the van and push the gear lever in park.
This just goes to show how magnificent the minds our children today are. I’m sure his dad had let him sit in his lap and steer around the neighborhood, as most fathers do when their kids are young. But the fact that this little boy realized that something was wrong and took the steps he learnt to save his dad and little brother (a three year old) from possibly being in a dangerous accident was amazing! I mean when I was six I’d never think to do that!
I wish the little boy and his dad all the best. To all the fathers out there, it goes to show that letting your child sit on your lap and steer around the neighborhood can pay of eventually! And to Tustin’s dad, Yo ass needs to start eating sum damn good food and not let any passing out happen ever again! You know how lucky your ass is that that boy was there! The amount of people that could have been hurt! Listen to me! Screw the diets! Eat!
