Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my eight-year-old son. He broke his arm after jumping out through the second story window. He was too impatient to walk to the ice cream van pulling up outside. FML

It's cause those damn ice cream trucks are there one second and gone the next. Every millisecond counts.

Not just that, you probably don't have to worry about 7 FBI agents coming to your house and falsely accusing you for child abuse!

Uh, the FBI don't handle individual child abuse cases. They deal with FEDERAL crimes.

The sad thing is I think most of us here on FML would probably do the same thing.

The OP's kid is silly. Now if it had been a bacon truck, I would understand and approve of such extreme measures, but Ice-cream just isn't as worth it...

Kids get crazier and crazier for the ice cream trucks, I though chasing it was still in. I guess a well timed jump will put you straight through the roof to the ice cream.

you're 16, he's 8. you're the same generation. also, I'm not so confident you'd be of any help considering you struggle with basic grammar.

No, just ones that are mentally handicapped. Most people don't jump trough windows or off roofs.
