Gilliver's Travels
Peripatetic
Beyond parody, this is surely The Onion come to life. From the BBC website today:-
"A three-year-old American boy has shot his mother and father with the same bullet after pulling a gun from her handbag, police say.
The incident took place in a motel room on Saturday afternoon in Albuquerque in the state of New Mexico.
The toddler was apparently reaching for an iPod.
The bullet passed through his father's buttock and hit his mother, who is eight months pregnant, in the arm. Both parents are said to be recovering.
The boy's two-year-old sister, who was also in the room at the America's Best Value Inn, was unhurt."
This sets a new US All-Comers Trigger-Happy Toddler (TM) record, trumping the recent effort by the two year-old who managed only to take out his mother. Pleasingly, it shows a commendable regard for the environment too, in felling both parents with a single shot.
