Good Pancakes, Bad Mommy

A recent news story has me scratching my head, and no, it wasn't about head lice. It's about a very bad mommy who better get a very good lawyer.

A 16-year-old boy with a severe allergy to dairy went out for breakfast with his parents. He ordered pancakes. The parents asked the waitress to be sure there were no dairy products in the pancakes. The boy ate the pancakes and started feeling sick within minutes, but oops, he had left his Epipen and nebulizer at home. Big mistake.

They all drove home in the family auto, not an ambulance. He got worse. Then he was airlifted to a hospital where he died three days later.

Now the parents are suing the cafe where they had breakfast for having served him bad pancakes. They are also soliciting funds online from strangers to help with all the medical bills.

Here is why I am scratching my head: You need a license to drive a car and fly a plane and pilot a boat, but any blooming idiot with ovaries who has access to some sperm can be a mommy. Why is that?
