Imagine this: Your five-year-old ingeniously tunnels out of kindergarten using a sandbox, makes their way over a mile to a luxury car dealership, and tries to purchase a Jaguar. Are you in awe of their impressive skills or terrified by the little mastermind you’ve raised? Believe it or not, this whimsical tale is based on a true event.
Two young boys from Russia managed to slip away during a supervised stroll outside their kindergarten. Armed with spades, they dug a hole beneath the fence and made a daring escape to freedom. After their great escape, they navigated over a mile to a car lot. When a concerned adult spotted them and inquired about their intentions, they boldly stated they wanted to buy a Jaguar, but unfortunately, they had no cash.
According to reports from ABC News, “the boys had been planning their escape for several days,” and a representative from the interior ministry confirmed the incident. It didn’t take long for the kindergarten supervisor to lose their job over this glaring oversight.
While there’s certainly negligence on the part of the kindergarten staff, one can’t help but feel a mix of terror and admiration. Most adults today can hardly navigate without GPS, yet these kids not only dug their way out but also found their way to a specific destination. Was their objective to buy a sports car, or were they simply seeking freedom and hoping for an adventure? I must say, I’m a bit intimidated by their resourcefulness. It’s like a kinder version of Shawshank Redemption.
Just the other day, I sat my almost five-year-old down to discuss the impending start of kindergarten. I explained that he would be attending school every single day, just like his older relatives. Then I realized he was about to embark on a long journey of routine that would last at least 12 years! I suddenly felt a wave of commitment anxiety for him.
These little escape artists clearly possess wisdom beyond their years. Hats off to you, boys, for your last taste of freedom!
