I don't have kids, so the story below is something I can't exactly relate to.

51-year-old Aric Keck wanted to go out on a date with his girlfriend Jackie Tabb, who happens to be 26. Age has absolutely nothing to do with this story, though.

Keck and Tabb decided to go out on a date to Kona Grill in Alpharetta, Ga. There was only one problem with the date. Keck decided to leave his six-year-old son in the car while they were inside.

According to the AJC.com:

The dispatcher called back the boy's father, Aric Keck, but Keck allegedly hung up the first time before telling the dispatcher he only left the child alone to go to the restroom, the police report states. Keck then allegedly called his ex-wife and threatened to kill her for calling the police as his girlfriend and son listened, according to police.

There are so many questions I have about this situation. Why couldn't the boy come into the bar? Were they talking about something the little boy couldn't hear, if so how would the kid even be aware to what was being said? Was dad pretending like he didn't have a kid? People are so odd.
