Hmm...sounds like she was more concerned about losing the pool than losing the kids. Unusual choice for cargo tie downs. How does someone that clueless even survive to reach age 49?

Full disclosure, here. When I was a teenager, we used to ride on truck hoods as the boys drove their trucks on the beach, going slowly. That's now illegal.

But REALLY. I'm very surprised a breeze didn't catch that inflatable pool, and send them flying off the top of her car.

It's a miracle the kids were unharmed.

Stupid lady. She probably wanted to be one of those "fun mom's". I have a tendency to flip out of those types of pools when they are just sitting on the ground.



(although I have a tendency to incorporate cocktails into my inflatable pool time)

How did you get that many rep points with ignorant comments like this? Aside from aiming for the lowest of hanging fruit, may I ask if you've ever been to Illinois? Outside of Chicago, it's basically a bastion of conservatism. If you want to get political for no reason, maybe you should check to see where the story originates before making these gaffes as something tells me that Dixon, Illinois has more in common with rural Illinois and Iowa than it does Chicago.

I'm beginning to think that imbeciles like this are the norm, rather than the exception. Even scarier, they breed.
These days, morons will do anything for facebook likes, YouTube exposure, and 15 minutes of fame.
Narcissism at its finest.
