Daddy needs to "bond" with some brain cells

I like to bond with my kids. Don't you? Every parent does, to some extent or other. Sports, video games, books...there are all KINDS of different ways to bond with your children. Some, of course, are a bit more successful than others...but they all come from a good place. Don't they?

Hm. Maybe not. A man was arrested in Florida after he let his 8-year-old son drive. No, I don't mean "sit in my lap and pretend" drive. I mean *seriously* drive the car. Well, it happened to be a van, but...whatever. After the boy hit two trees and almost hit two people, the van was finally stopped. So this father, when being questioned about why in the world he would let his son drive, mentioned he had taken a Xanax and then said he thought it would be a "bonding moment". The boy, on the other hand, said that daddy needed "medicine" to feel better - as he was pointing to an empty whiskey bottle in the back seat.

That's some kind of bonding. I wonder if he would have felt successfully "bonded" if the car had been in an accident and they had ended up in the hospital together? Or how about if the boy had actually hit one of those aforementioned people...possibly killing one or both? Wait! I know!! The best bonding must be the kind that opens the possibility of ending up with one or both of the bonding participants ending up dead!

There we have it folks. If you're ever having issues with your child, and are just *stumped* in how you can possibly get closer and do some..."bonding"...make SURE that you choose the scenario most likely to end up in jail or hospital time. Death is, apparently, just a bonus.
