While it may be odd, it certainly isn't something unthinkable. You probably wouldn't think it's going to hurt somebody.
who knows?? article didn't say, but the dad may have parked in his usual spot and the kids had raked the leaves into a pile in his spot, not thinking about him coming home so soon.
my oldest granddaughter is 11 and she doesn't wear a watch all the time..and never at home when out of school, cause her "off time" is supposed to be for just fun!!
I am sorry for the man. To lose a child would be horrific. To be the cause of death of 1 of your children, for me, would be absolutely devasting.
