Both will claim their 5-year-old daughter was driving.
The daughter probably would do better. Wait,did they give the kid a sobriety test.
These two are in dire need of an inpatient alcohol rehab clinic.If they keep up this behavior their 5 year old will not stand a chance of having a good future.They have no regard for their child's welfare and well being.
Insert cuss word after word : DUMB _____________________
LOL! Thanks Ms. Velez for the laugh! That is just awesome... what on earth was she thinking???
This happens more often than you might think.
LOL, they are morons.
Reading this makes me so sad for their child. How miserable her life must be living with two parents who clearly have problems with alcohol.
You MIGHT be a redneck if......
I can't stand a drunk..just can't..they never think they have a problem therefore never seek help and end up driving drunk and eventually will hurt themselves or someone else..can't stand a drunk
