Children will go to great lengths to get what they want and one four-year-old child did this by taking a bus so she could get her favorite beverage in the middle of the night.
According to Reuters, a Philadelphia bus picked up a little girl in the middle of the night and passengers noticed she was alone and was happily declaring that she was going to get herself a slushie.
WPVI reported the parents had no idea their daughter Annabelle had even left the house. The driver, Harlan Jenifer, was surprised to see the child, who had donned snow boots and a purple coat. “Got to be kidding me! At this time, at 3 o’clock in the morning.”
The passengers tended to her while he called the police. After being reunited with her parents, mom and dad fixed their locks so she couldn’t escape again. Annabelle, however, only wanted one thing and she asked her mother, Jaclyn Mager, for her beverage, People reported.
Her mom responded, “I will take you to Wawa and get you a slushie. But listen, promise me next time you’ll wait for me, okay?”
Dad Timothy Ridgeway, could imagine how the situation could have turned out so wrong. “My mind is wanting to go places, it’s hard not to. Thank God for the bus driver.”
Both parents were “grateful” for the bus driver’s actions in bringing their daughter home.
