This picture is from a story in today's news.
A 3-year old boy in Nebraska was reported missing by his mother. While she was in the bathroom, he scooted out the front door. He was later found in a bowling alley across the street -- he climbed into the toy claw machine and was playing with the toys. The police got him out of the machine unharmed.
You know he had fun. At that age, we're just following our instincts.
Have you ever done anything like this?
You wonder how the heck he got in there! Little acrobat.
ReplyDeleteNo...I was never that adventurous as a kid.

I literally laughed out loud :D :D !! First I thought that must be a scene from a movie or something but they boy really went inside the machine ... :D :D Good for him, YOLO :D
ReplyDeleteCute and funny but so frightening for the poor mum! I'm glad he was found safe. The closest I came to this was running away from a summer activity group when I was five. I hated it. I simply ran home which wasn't too far away but I carefully plotted my escape.
ReplyDeleteIt's ironic that things kids enjoy most are things that worry moms the most.
DeleteOh good grief...how did he do that? I wasn't a wanderer.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest story ever. I am sure not during the time for the poor mother but you know they will tell this when he is 80 years old! :)

This story really made me smile. Scary for the mother, yes, but that little one had so much fun that day - what an adventure! My story is nowhere near this exciting but my parents say they once found me digging up flowers/veges in next doors garden... oops!
ReplyDeleteOh my God... Ahahaha.... No, No I never doing something like that :)
ReplyDeleteThat is unbelievable. I can't even comprehend how he got in there...out of all the places he could have gone...and yes it is pretty cute.
ReplyDeleteoh my! haha! that's fun bt I do hope my kids (when I have kids for sure) wouldn't do anything like that!
ReplyDeletemy niece several times tried to run from the family country house when we were around but always we managed to catch before it was time to be afraid.
have you personally done that when you were little?
Yes... my parents kept catching me in their bedroom trying on my mother's clothes...
DeleteThank goodness he wasn't hurt in the process! What a clever, nibble little lad he was. I haven't done anything like this myself, but just this morning (sometime between 3 and 6am) our dog, Annie, sort of did something similar by managing to pry open the latch on her little plastic toy chest (tote) and wreck (aka, chew to the point of destruction) 3/4th of everything in there, including a collar, a leash, a harsh, one of her Chuck It launchers, a few rolls of doggy clean up bags, a leather baseball, and sundry assorted items that she's normally not allowed to play with for this very reason! That's puppihood for you!

You're right: animals do this often. Cats, in particular, try to squeeze in ridiculously-small places. My cat Moozy once wedged himself into the wall in my basement and couldn't back out. Only his yowling told us where he was and we rescued him.
DeleteLOL. Another great example of parents not keeping a close watch on their kids. Had they had these machines when I was a kid, I probably would have climbed in.
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteI was a really good behaved kid- so says my mom - I dont recall doing anything like this :/
