Area Mom Wants to Make Sure Everyone’s Buckled

ROCKFORD, IL — Before backing out of her driveway, local mom Lisa Shelton called the attention of her passengers of her Honda Pilot on Thursday to ask if all of them were buckled, according to witnesses present at the scene. “Is everyone buckled? We can’t go to the park unless everyone is buckled,” said Shelton, seemingly speaking to the whole car but looking at James in particular, as he was the only one not buckled when the question was posed. After James did not hear the question due to his fixation on his Gameboy, the situation came to a peaceful conclusion when Shelton hypothesized, likely without sincerity, “I guess we’ll never get to the park,” causing James to put down his toy and buckle his seatbelt. At press time, Shelton told reporters that she was also interested in further investigating whether or not everyone had brushed their teeth.
