A 7th grade boy Friday night was with a youth group at a pumpkin farm Friday night. Some of the boys decided to wait in bushes and jump out to scare people on a hay ride. This young man jumped on the side of the trailer, slipped off, and was run over by a wheel. He did not survive. My daughter is a 7th grader and though he went to another school, she knew him (friend of a friend). I’m not sure what makes it hit so close to home for me, the fact that I have a kid the same age, or that this is the exact kind of dumb thing that I survived doing dozens of times. I’m going to attach the news story, and the gofundme just in case anyone feels led (certainly not soliciting). This whole thing just tears me up. Hug your kids.
