So my friend told me this story today and I nearly pissed myself laughing. She has a severely autistic nephew and they took him to the zoo a couple of months ago. At some point during the day they turn around and the kid has disappeared. They freak out, search high and low, get the authorities, call him on the loudspeaker, everything. They find him alone in a bathroom, soaking wet and reeking like fish. He's screaming his head off, and won't let go of his backpack. They get him out of the zoo, finally, as they're pretty much being kicked out, and the kid is still screaming. They get half way home and the kid has managed to calm down a bit, but he keeps whimpering and they hear strange noises in the backseat. So they pull over and get the kid out of the car. He still won't let go of his backpack. They manage to wrestle it away from him and the kid has STOLEN A PENGUIN!! He must have somehow managed to get into a restricted area and gotten it into his backpack without anyone noticing, though nobody knows how.
I wanna hang out with this kid.
