NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Boy Ditches Day Care, Hotfoots It To Hooters
A five-year-old boy ducked out of Denton, TX, day care center Imagination Station, crossed a heavily trafficked street to buy a soda and snacks at a gas station convenience store, then crossed another busy street and walked a half mile to a Hooters restaurant, reports WFAA-TV (Channel 8-Dallas/Fort Worth). The restaurant's general manager brought the boy inside and gave him crayons to keep him busy, and then called the police. Meanwhile, the boy’s father arrived at the day care center to find his son gone. Owner Deborah Pugh thinks he slipped out of the fire exit after telling her he wanted to use the bathroom. She now plans to install an alarm on that door, as well as to escort the children to the bathroom. The day care center has been cited twice by state inspectors for improper supervision.
