Fucking kids never answer/respond, but when Mom misses one call the popo's show up.
wow, i'm surprised they didn't murder her
And that’s why we all thought this maybe an onion article.
"Footage doesn't show the moment they found her for privacy reasons" like we haven't all been caught in our underwear covered in sheeto dust after a gaming binge
She was probably shouting insults at some kid in Call of Duty
It was bubble pop
Fun fact: As a grandmother, she could have been 16 when the first Call of Duty came out without her or her children having an underage pregnancy.
You mean when WW2 happened? She got tonplay it in real life?
That is not a fun fact at all! I'm gonna go break my hip in the corner now...
i'm in my mid 40s. my peers have kids in their 20s. who could theoretically have kids. i could be a grandparent. i have to warn my wife, it's time to start a grampolycule of our own.

Call of Duty: Bubble Pop
The cops kids probably.
Not the first time a 360-noscope was referred to as a "bubble pop". 😂🤌🏼

playing a "bubble pop" video game

that's a common term when police or landlord or someone checks in on someone by request of family or another neighbor.
