Small Child Drives Car Through McDonald’s Drive-Through in Whitehall

Messing with the people who took your orders at any fast food restaurant is almost a rite of passage for any American male.

You go to McDonald’s and ask for a Whopper. (HAHA)

You go through and talk to them as though you’re talking through a malfunctioning microphone. (Double HAHA)

You go through and continually change your order resulting in them becoming super frustrated. (Triple HAHA)

You now realize that ever time you did that they probably spit in your food. (Quadruple karma)

The McDonald’s Whitehall Township restaurant crew Monday night was surprised to see a car pull up to their drive-through window with a driver so small the order-taker almost missed him.

“He looked like an 8-year-old,” said Stephanie Santos, worker at the McDonald’s at MacArthur Road near Mickley Run Road. “Everyone was laughing because he was really little and he was driving.”

The boy ordered a sundae, two McDouble cheeseburgers and a small fries at 8:15 p.m., and steered the adult-size car back out to MacArthur Road, where he turned north.

Township police immediately were notified of the underage motorist. They looked for him, but soon were diverted to several higher-priority calls. No arrest was made.

Santos said the McDonald’s workers suspect the boy is older than 8, but still too young to drive. He was with two young men – old enough to drive, she said – but they didn’t seem to mind the small fry behind the wheel. SOURCE: The Morning Call

What takes priority over an 8-year-old driving a vehicle? Obviously any violent crime, but, if the report was TRUE and a child really WAS driving a car, that’s a whole can of worms.

How did the kid get the car? Where are his parents? Why did he get two McDoubles and not just one Double Quarter Pounder and fries? Who were his buddies in the back seat?

You KNOW some midget is at home right now reading this going, “ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME? EVERY time. EVERY time I drive people have to make fun of me.” But, in a high pitched little person voice.
