Ya I saw that on the news. What an idiot. Just take the kids into the store with you and deal with them.

Listen guys dont look suspiciously on the rest of us Massachussetts sailors. Most of us are sane.

We always played in the trunk as kids! Then when we got home dad would put us in the old refrigerator out back.

Should have given them some quarters and sent them into the laundromat to ride the dryers like we had to do.

Back when my brother and I were in maybe 2nd grade, we sneaked into the trunk of my moms car when she went to work. (old late 40's pontiac) She only worked maybe 4 miles from home. Got where she worked and went wandering around for a while heading towards the house.

We had the Cops, babysitter, her family, Mom, and half the people she worked with out looking for us.
Man, when we finally walked into the door at home we didn't sit for a week.

Never outgrew the wandering or exploring bug, at 14 I made it from california to michigan alone, think the wandering is why I like sailing so much.

A lot of people think we may be idiots by going to sea in small boats. Maybe the guy knew what he was doing.
