Here's the story.
I don't think the guy asked the girl to get in his car, but it says he asked her to help him find his puppy. He's new to the area...
I mean, he saw her in her front yard, pulled up and could have just innocently said "I've lost my dog. Have you seen him? Will you let me know if you have?"
My guess is it was the child's perception (perhaps rightly so) and I'm also assuming this guy didn't see the Mom coming out. I would have stayed and asked for her help to (unless she was packing heat like 2JM...)
Corin, Jr. (the 13-year-old) has to have ear surgery soon. He's had tubes for a number of years and developed a hole in his ear drum. Surgery requires a skin graft. We knew he couldn't get it wet for several weeks (so we scheduled it at the end of the summer). I had Mrs. Stormhands call this a.m. to clarify exactly what that meant (like if he couldn't wash his hair we were going for the buzz cut).
Turns out, he can't get it wet or have any strenuous physical activity for at least three weeks following the surgery.
Fortunately, we found out before I wrote the check for football tomorrow morning. But we're thinking of postponing this once again until after football season. But what a pain for him...
