thtgy-animal-sucky.jpgI saw this on Failblog today and had to repost. I don't think it's neccessary to point out the irony here. All I can say is, that's how they get you.

I can remember being 12-years-old and wanting nothing more than to drive a car. I had friends and cousins my age whose parents would let them pull their cars out the driveway, or ride a short distance to the grocery store.

My parents considered it a priviledge to let me start up the car to warm the engine when it was cold outside. I would say to myself "everyone else's parents are cool and mine don't trust me to do anything."

But watching this tragic video about a 12-year-old boy who accidentally ran over and killed his mother makes me think perhaps my parents are wiser than I gave them credit for.

 

thtgy-animal-awful.jpgImagine that you're a couple that's having trouble conceiving a child. So one day you decide to go to a fertility clinic and have them fertilize and implant an embryo for you. Then you get the call you've been waiting for. You're pregnant!

And in the same breath you find out the clinic accidentally implanted you with another couple's embryo.

Well, that shit really happened to this couple!

That's how they get you.

Watch the video.
