In a remarkable turn of events, two preschoolers decided to embark on an adventure to visit their grandmother, but they took an unconventional route by attempting to drive their mom’s vehicle.
It’s no secret that children often favor their grandparents, and this is especially true when there are treats and endless entertainment involved. The allure of Grandma’s house can be difficult to resist, even for the littlest ones. According to an NBC affiliate, the duo, ages five and three, managed to start up their mother’s SUV and set off on their journey, only to end up crashing into another car at a nearby intersection.
Witnessing the commotion, local resident Emily Jenkins described the sound of the crash as “like an explosion.” She rushed outside, surprised to find the car belonged to her neighbor and that the mother was nowhere in sight, just the two young passengers. Fortunately, Emily found the children unharmed, while the other driver sustained only minor injuries. “I held both kids and asked, ‘Where’s your mom?’ They replied, ‘Sleeping. I want to go to Grandma’s house,’” Emily recounted, adding that she was waiting for the mother to come outside.
Many parents can relate to the fear of finding their kids missing, especially after dozing off during a cartoon marathon. It’s easy to imagine how this could happen to anyone; after all, little ones can be quite crafty.
As of now, local authorities have not indicated whether any charges will be filed against the parents, but given the circumstances, it seems like a cautionary tale that could happen to anyone. Fred Thompson, another neighbor who witnessed the aftermath, expressed his relief that the children were safe, saying, “Thank goodness they’re okay. They must have had a guardian angel.”
