Girl, 4, catches bus at 3am ALONE because ‘she wanted a slush puppy’

Little Annabel Ridgeway, all bundled up in purple, can be seen clambering onto the bus at 3am on Friday,

As a handful of passengers glance at her curiously, the tiny tot explained that she had woken up craving a sugary drink, so she got dressed, unlocked the front door, and set out in search of one.

She said simply: "All I want is a Slushie."

Shocked bus driver Harlan Jenifer explained: “She knew exactly where she was going.

“So she must’ve travelled that route before. She had to.”

Concerned Harlan, who has children of his own, said he did “what any father would do” and immediately stopped the bus to call the police.

Annabel, who was unharmed, was quickly reunited with her grateful mother at a nearby hospital.

Authorities have said that neither of the little girl’s parents had any idea she’d woken up and sneaked out in the middle of the night.

"I will take you to buy a slushie," mother Jaclyn Mager promised her daughter, who asked again for the drink, in an interview with their local television station.

"But... promise me next time you'll wait for me, okay?"
