My kids have gotten into some serious hijinks in the back seat. They’ve yelled, called each other names, called me names, thrown anything that wasn’t nailed down, kicked the back of my seat and asked, “Are we there yet?” approximately 1,000 times.
They have never come close to the level of mischief these Canadian kids got up to, though. A family in a rural Canadian town was pulled over the other day for firing pellet guns at passing cars in traffic.

There were four children living with the couple—a baby, a nine-year-old, a six-year-old and a seven-year-old.

This from the Sheriff who just the other day said the Heene’s emotions were real during the “ordeal” of watching their son float off in a weather balloon. Oh how the tables have turned. Continue reading »
