At least this one is amusing. However, if they can’t get the facts and storyline correct on this, it’s no wonder that they fail on even slightly more complex stories.
Girl, 4, Sneaks out, Hops Bus in Search of 3 a.m. Slushie
Suburban folks are often struck by how easily city kids navigate travel on public transportation all by themselves. (Oliver did it in St. Vicent, and while he looked to be about ten years old, he was twelve.) But a four year old? At 3:00 a.m?
It’s not easy to repress a laugh from the SEPTA bus video.
Annabelle was on a mission and she was totally cool when she hit a snag.
The 4-year-old grabbed her purple rain coat, slipped out the back door of her family’s Tacony home, and wandered along Torresdale Avenue.
Not wandering but on her way to get a slushie. (Reportedly heading for the 7-11 at 6927 Torresdale Ave, but the Wawa at 6400 Torresdale is also possible.) She was near a bus stop when a man waiting for the bus noticed her. When the bus arrived, the man told the driver, Mr. Jenifer, he’d better wait as Annabelle trundled up the steps and onto the bus. Jenifer called SEPTA supervisors and the police arrived to rescue her twenty minutes later.
A bus to take her to the store might have seemed like a good idea to Annabelle as it was cold and wet outside. And everybody was so nice as she told them that she was on her way to get a slushie.
America look and see what Annabelle knows. What black men are really like. Nice.
