Oh, this is just nuts.
(The kid should have known his address. 8 years old!)
“The kid should have known his address. 8 years old!”
[Chuckle], he did know his address. He was just trying to not get into trouble at home for sneaking off like that. Didn’t work....
The kid knew he was supposed to be at church so he lied so he wouldn’t get in trouble. When you are little you will lie to bullies!
An eight year old is perfectly capable of pretending he doesn’t know his address because being taken home by a cop means the jig is up.
I bet like anything he just wanted this cop to go away so I can get home before the bus does.
I’m pretty sure the kid knows his address perfectly well, but I’m guessing he knew he’d be in trouble for having cut church.
Imagine how guilty this poor kid probably feels now.
The kid should have known his address, phone number, and where his dad worked and his dad’s work number. Or at the very least which McDonalds his dad worked at.
I also have to agree with other FReepers in that at 8 years old we ran around the neighborhood all day and our parents did not know where we were at every minute. Only thing we were told was to be back at dinner time.
