So I guess we can all take something away from the Heene's experiences. If you plan a hoax involving your children, you should: *Either make sure your kids are too young to speak complex thoughts, actually believe the hoax to be true as constructed, or are given baby Ambien so they are confused and can't remember what happened. *Have the hoax be of the purely miraculous/uncanny variety, a la Virgin Mary in the grilled cheese, so that, 1., the public will want to believe and/or, 2., there will be many people who will continue to believe your hoax even after it has been debunked. Better luck next time!

As I've stated elsewhere, for those of you fuckers who watch Lie To Me or have had training in reading facial expressions and body language: Look at the micro-expressions that flash across the parents' faces after the kid admits it was "for the show". Daddy knew and was in on the hoax, mom is genuinely surprised. Daddy is sleeping on the sofa tonight!

I went missing when I was around 4. It was wintertime and my family was off to some sort of event, so my mom got us all together and bustled everybody into the car. They were about halfway into the trip before someone realized I wasn't there. They drove back hell for leather to find me trapped on my back on the sofa - my big winter snowsuit thingie was so poofy I couldn't move.

Couldn't a real scientist or balloon expert have taken size of the balloon, helium capacity, weight of materials, and figured out that balloon couldn't have traveled that far with a 50 pound kid on board?

mathnet on Little Boy Lost In Balloon

mathnet — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:02:37 +0000

Really, though, I think the kid was just impatient and annoyed at being asked the same question(s) over and over again. Richard and Mayumi are bizarre and disturbed and delusional and self-centered, but I don't think they planned this. They undoubtedly got a thrill out of the flight and the whole emergency adventure--mixed with genuine terror, obviously--but I don't think they set it up. Now Bradford, on the other hand. . .

How would a freaking-out parent have the presence of mind to skip 911 and go straight to googling "FAA," and then find the Contact Us page and get routed to the emergency-call-taker, PROGRAMMEDINTOYOURPHONE?

Tuna Surprise on Little Boy Lost In Balloon

I am apalled. I am really apalled. That you would make a suggestion like that. They said this was it and we'd be done for a week. That's why we agreed. Falcon tends to talk about things he did when he was four and then again in greatest-hits form when he was five, that's all. When I swapped my wife for a psychic anglophile who hypnotized and past-life-regressed me after I threw food and milk at her, Falcon spent a great deal of time in the attic above the garage.

I bet your sister was equally panicked to see the car gone when she got out of the bathroom. I got left behind by the chinatown bus in Baltimore just last year! No matter what your previous experience with extended rest stops, ALWAYS tell the driver your getting off to use the restroom and then coming back. It's even more embarrassing to be calling your mother to tell her you're lost and got left behind when you're over 30...

I did this a lot as a kid. I had mall security and local police called several times in efforts to find me. The most extended absence was when my brother was late to pick me up and in that time I'd forgotten which elementary school he was to take me to for track practice. I picked a name and he dropped me off and peeled out. It was the wrong one and it took me 6 hrs to find my way back across town to home. I even saw the cops and my mother drive by looking for me and I hid, knowing I was in big trouble.

Why is it always the younger sibling? My sister got left at a gas station once because she got out of the car without telling anyone. And then when we started driving again I didn't speak up other than saying "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....." since I noticed she wasn't in the backseat with me. Then my mom checked to make sure our seatbelts were buckled, and the flipout commenced.

When I was 10 and my little sister was 5 she went missing. I was sleeping over at a friends house and a neighbor rang the doorbell asking if we had seen my sister. He saw me and said, "we're all out here canvassing the neighborhood looking for your sister you know." I just kinda shrugged my shoulders and went back to playing barbies or whatever we were doing. I think it's proof positive I was born without a soul.

Not really! He got in the other car, and was sitting there the whole time while we yelled for him. He just didn't hear us. And then when he realized we were driving off, he went all Kevin McCallister and was crying when we got back twenty minutes later. Oh, we laughed at him for years about that. "Gabe, go wait in the car!"

One time, we had to go to the airport to pick up my second cousin Tony, and my little brother was being a pest, so my dad told him to go wait in the car. A few minutes later, my mom and dad and I were ready to go, so we got in the car...and Gabe was nowhere to be found. We looked around for a couple minutes, and even yelled for him, but he didn't answer and Tony's flight was coming in, and my parents didn't want him stranded at Hector International Airport, so we left. We figured Gabe was being a pill and hiding or something. It turned out he'd locked himself in the deep-freeze my parents were throwing out. And that's how my little brother died.

PART OF THE REASON I'VE GONE BONKERS TODAY is that when I was 9, my 3-year-old brother went missing and we didn't find him for almost 2 1/2 hours. The hot lifeguard from the neighborhood pool finally discovered him in the woods between our backyard and a very busy, dangerous road? And he was just lying under a tree, humming "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'." So this is exactly like that except for the space ship.

When I was a kid and we'd get stuck in a traffic jam, my dad used to say "there'd better be blood on the highway." Then the longer we'd sit, he'd fume "I want to see body parts strewn all over the damn place." Of course, you'd finally get up to the accident causing the traffic jam and it would be two idiots who barely dented their bumpers blocking two lanes of traffic gawking at the damage. I had the same sort of feeling here. I felt let down when I didn't get to see the frozen corpse of a child in a corn field. Oh well, maybe next time.

From the Wife Swap website. It actually CAN get stranger. And sadder: The Heene family from Colorado live life on the edge. Wife Mayumi (43) and storm scientist Richard (45) take their three kids, Bradford (8), Ryo (7) and Falcon (5), out of school to go on storm chasing missions to prove Richard's theories about magnetic fields and gravity. If conditions are right, Mayumi wakes her family by shouting "Storm Approaching, Storm Approaching!" into a bullhorn. The family sleep in their clothes so they can leap out of bed and into the storm-mobile. Richard calls Mayumi his 'ninja wife'; she maintains equipment, drives the storm-mobile, films tornadoes and waits with the kids while Richard jumps on his motorbike, heads into the eye of the storm and launches rockets to measure magnetic forces. At home the family are as chaotic as a twister: the kids have no table manners and throw themselves around the house, and while Richard devotes every moment to his research, he expects Mayumi to cook, clean and run the house without any help. Meanwhile on a quiet street in Connecticut, the Martel family -- wife Karen (43), husband Jay (50) and their two kids, Max (11) and Dean (10) -- live a life of calm and safety. Dad is so committed to safety that he runs a child-proofing business devoted to identifying dangers and risks and making sure kids stay out of harm's way. With all the precautions taken to keep them safe, Max and Dean seem to be afraid of everything..."you can fall down the stairs, get cancer from the microwave, get tapeworms from sushi, and the lava lamp could explode..." The Martels conduct safety fire drills, make sure the kids wear protective gear on their bikes and pogo-sticks and never let the boys out of their sight. The atmosphere in the house is calm and serene, and Karen and Jay are equal partners.
