QuizLaw Father of the Month - April Edition

tingcover.jpgIn our continuing efforts to provide parenting advice you can use, we bring you Douglas Willy. Willy is an environmentalist. A man that believes in global warming and wants desperately to do his part. Willy is also cheap – he doesn’t like to spend any money he doesn’t have to. He likes to save every penny, which he probably donates to efforts to combat global warming.*

Willy also has four children and a fiancée. So when he wants to take a trip with his kids, he has a novel way of saving gas. Instead of taking two cars, like most parents would, he simply piles all six of members of his family into one car. The only problem, of course, is that it only seats four. So what’s a gas conscious, penny-pinching man to do?

Well, stuff two of the teenagers in the trunk, of course.

Willy, his fiancee and their four children were taking a trip but the vehicle did not fit all six passengers. So, police said, he decided two of the children would ride in the trunk to avoid taking a second vehicle. Police said a 12-year-old and 13-year-old were in the trunk, and had been riding inside for about 20 miles.

Of course, those damn policemen and their crazy “reckless endangerment” charges always get in the way of good parenting. No matter: We here at QuizLaw salute you, Douglas Willy, as April’s Father of the Month.
