The family that brings their kid to a bar together stays togeth-…well, no, we can’t even assume staying together is a potential outcome here.
The backstory: Grandma takes kid to bar during school hours. Dad comes in and claims the kid, unbeknownst to Grandma. Hilarity at taxpayer expense ensues.
The bright point of this odd story: We really love the fact that Deputy Tom Erickson of the JoCo County Sheriff’s Office took the opportunity to riff on the classic bar joke intro:
“A dad goes into a bar [emphasis ours] where grandma (his mother-in-law) has his daughter (who is about 4). He takes his daughter out of the bar and grandma calls and says kidnap — we send everybody.”
Not much of a punchline, but we salute him for making the best of this situation. Hey, have you heard the one about the police stakeout of the well-to-do criminal in Overland Park? Not often that someone stings a WASP! Hey-yo!
