Sometimes we get so busy that we end up having to move things around to make time for our loved ones.
Sadly, one man was too busy for his mother that she decided to ride a toy scooter back home instead of being picked up.

An elderly woman recently turned heads when she was seen on an animal scooter (the ones you can usually find in malls) on a main road.
Identified as Ms. Hou, she was captured on video by an onlooker, riding a colourful dragon along a street in Suzhou city, China, one night.
The video of the 76-year-old woman’a joy ride went viral and eventually caught the attention of the authorities.

The local police questioned Ms. Hou and found out that she actually works as a playground caretaker for a park’s toy car rental.
She revealed that she had been suffering from leg pain for a long time and relied on her son to give her a lift home from work.
According to the woman, her son was too busy to pick her up that night so she decided to take a ride home on one of the animal scooters instead.
She added that her home was not that far and she figured that there’d be less traffic on the roads at night.
The police reprimanded the elderly lady about road safety and the 76-year-old promised to never ride a toy scooter on the road again.
While many netizens found the grandma’s antics to be adorable, others shared their concerns for the woman’s safety and the safety of other road users.

Undoubtedly, this grandma was definitely adorable on her dragon scooter but it is important to remember that this is definitely something dangerous. Ms. Hou may have gotten injured or someone else around her could have.
Please do not try this.
Hopefully the woman’s son will be able to clear his schedule to pick his mum up next time!
