Daddy says, “Give me your money!!!”

Imagine this.

You are at work when all of a sudden your store is being robbed. You do as the robber says and start getting the money out of the drawer. All of a sudden a fellow employee overpowers the man robbing you and knocks off his wig and sunglasses. You get a glimpse of the perpetrator’s face and discover that the man who is attempting to rob you is your father.

Unfortunately, this is not an idea for a movie script. This actually happened, last Friday, in Denton, Texas.

Stephanie Martinez, a pizza worker, was the unfortunate woman being robbed by her father. What makes this story even more bizarre was that her mother and husband were in the getaway truck.

The mother, husband, and father were all arrested. The husband told the police that Stephanie knew nothing about the robbery attempt. In fact, he didn’t even know they were going to rob her place of business. He thought they were going to rob a convenience store.

The police say that she will not face any criminal charges.

This just confirms to me that the world is getting absolutely crazy. Why on Earth would you do something like that to you daughter?

First, they jeopardized their daughter’s job. And, even if they did get away, who is to say their daughter wouldn’t have suffered some serious emotional trauma from the incident?

I feel for Stephanie. Talk about being embarrassed.

It’s not the enough that the whole incident happened. The story is in the newspapers, and her coworker was interviewed, yesterday, on the Today show.

This is yet another example of great parenting.

The Wizard has spoken.
