We've all been there. Where is there? The donut shop. What are we doing? Trying to find a good donut to munch. But, oh no—what if your shop is all out of Boston Cremes (the unanimous best donut of all the varieties)? You can be like this mom and forget your baby at the store to go find the right one.

NBC7 in San Diego reports that a mom brought her five-month-old baby and cousin (undetermined age) to Golden Donuts on Sunday, where she learned that her favorite donut (unnamed but probably Boston Creme) was out of stock. Whatever should she do? Go to the next donut shop, as soon as fucking possible, of course. But what about that baby? NBC7 investigates:

"I thought she took the baby," said the store employee. "And then a customer told me, 'Oh the baby on the table.' And then I look around. She was already gone." As the mother continued her quest at Yum Yum Donuts in Spring Valley, the employee called 911.

When the hungry mama realized she'd left her baby at the first store, she immediately headed back to Golden Donuts to pick the child up. She told police that she thought her cousin was watching the baby, and her cousin thought that of the mother. Classic mixup.

Did she get the donut she was looking for? The story never says, but probably not.
