Bottom Of The Barrel

A really "happy" meal

On Monday the 21st in a Chicago suburb, a dad takes his three children through a McDonald's drive-through and he order a Happy Meals of each. To his 8-year-old daughter's surprise, she got not only her happy meal but a lighter, pipe, and bag of marijuana. Apparently a 17-year-old fast-food employee, who is facing drug charges, was hiding his marijuana in a Happy Meal that ended up with a young child.

Note to self - if I am going to take up an illegal drug habit, do not bring it to work and DO NOT hide it in bags, boxes or other containers that I might be handing out to customers [that's just dumb].

What was equally disturbing was the mother's reaction to her daughter telling her that she found a lighter in her Happy Meal, she said "Go tell your father". I maybe wrong here but if an 8-year old finds an object other than what was expected in a Happy Meal, I would think a parent would want to make a close inspection immediately and if that object happens to be some that is dangerous [and I happen to think something that can severely injure a child and/or burn down your home would classify as dangerous] then this would require the highest level of attention. Luckily the father made a closer inspection and took the drugs from his daughter and contacted the police. Good job Dad, hope you get a nice gift for father's day.

Happy Friday and make sure to order the Happy Meal with the built in munches next time your at the Mickey D's drive through, I heard it's real popular with the children these days.
