Those of us with kids know how much of a struggle it can be to seem cool to a generation that responds to our lectures with “OK, boomer.” But there’s an absolute difference between being a laid-back parent and letting your kids do 85 in a 45. And that’s exactly what happened with a man in Florida, who was arrested by highway patrol after they caught his car speeding on a 45-mile-per-hour road.

When the officer pulled the car over, they found what looked like the man’s 12-year-old daughter in the driver’s seat. As it turned out, he’s not even related to her but still wanted to be like a “cool dad” by letting her drive fast in his car. He bought her a vape pen, too. Yes, really! Apparently, he was a friend of the girl’s mother, but we can assume that ship has sailed by now.
