its a tragedy : my cynic getting the better of me

so i'm catching up on my news feeds and blog postings. catching up on things i've missed out on for one reason or another.

i find myself reading up on the recent school shooting at a high school in knoxville. it, along with all school shootings and violence, is a tragedy. i pray for the students and families involved... reading up on the story. this one account from a mother had me just cracking up.

"I whipped around," Mirtes said. "I started loading kids into my car, and I got them off campus as quickly as possible."

She said she took about 12 students in her Monte Carlo to Litton's restaurant, nearby on Essary Road.

i am sorry, but just imagining 12 students cramming into a monte carlo under any circumstances to me is just an image that i cannot not giggle at.
