A mother is in jail after she allegedly drove home from a neighborhood pool with six children riding on top of her car because she didn't want their wet swimsuits to ruin her upholstery.

Kisha Young, 39, of Crowley, Texas was arrested after having the children - four of which were hers and two of which were a friend's - ride on the roof and the trunk of her Chevy Malibu for the short ride back home after swimming at the local pool, reports CBS DFW.

Man, they’re cracking down on everything nowadays.

Chevy Malibu comes without seat belts for the roof and the trunk deck.

She made sure to drive fast so the kiddies’ suits would be dry by the time she got home (er, that was the plan anyway).

Don’t like that one? How about this: drunks and trunks don’t mix.

I guess sometimes you think you have seen it all and then ...

I’m thinking Velcro on the car roof might be the solution here. Cheaper than babysitters.

Kids? Pets? Whatever.

I had my own harrowing car ride today, my 15.5 yr. old daughter behind the wheel for the first time ever. Actually she did pretty well but she drove off the edge of the driveway, double wide drive way and there was another car parked there, so I'm glad she erred on the side of caution instead of side swiping the other car. It didn't help matters that I had just recently planted new grass where she went off the edge.

One other mistake, she was applying the brakes but the car was still rolling a little when she put it in park. The transmission made a weird sound but there was no evident damage. Over all, she did very well.

Were they in child seats?

Not everybody trusts you the way I do.

[Slings and Arrows]

Oh, ye of little faith!

[shibumi]

I wonder what the rate is for the “hanging on” tickets?

[Slings and Arrows]

Your @ss, if you’re unlucky.

[EEGator]

I read the article. What is your point?

[trebb]

That's CRAAAAAAZY TALK!!!

No, really, that's crazy talk.

[verga]

NAILED IT! Name was a dead giveaway.

My point is that people like to post pithy comments without reading the full article. Just like the Civil War soldiers used to pause in their marches to pick blackberries, we ought to pause once in a while to actually read the articles to which we are responding.
