Truth is stranger (and funnier!) than fiction!

I heard this story on the news on the radio this morning, then saw this article on the Fox News website. This article is a little short and doesn't give a lot of details. But according to the news report I heard, the 4-year-old little boy (I think they said his name was Hayden) thought Christmas wasn't coming soon enough. So one night he sneaked out of his mom's bed and found a beer at his house, then went to a neighbor's house and apparently got in through a door that wasn't locked (what are people thinking?!). There he opened all of the presents under the neighbors' Christmas tree.....and one of these gifts was a little girl's dress. A while later, he was found down the street, wearing the dress and obviously under the influence! I just laughed out loud when I pictured what that must have looked like!

Poor kid.....it would be a very funny story except for the extra details here in this article.....apparently the boy's dad is in jail and his parents are getting a divorce. Poor little kid....

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Tennessee investigators say a 4-year-old boy was found roaming his neighborhood in the night, drinking beer and wearing a little girl's dress taken from under a neighbor's Christmas tree.

The child's mother, 21-year-old April Wright, tells WTVC-TV the boy "wants to go to jail because that's where his daddy is." Wright says she and the boy's father are going though a divorce.

The boy, found outside his house in Chatanooga on Tuesday, was taken to a hospital and treated for alcohol consumption.

Hamilton County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Janice Atkinson says the incident is being investigated but the department declined to release the report.

The boy's mother says she met with child protective services and was told she will get to keep custody of her son.
