As the story goes, Kenny was teaching Shirley to drive and it wasn't going too well. So one day Shirley and her sister had the bright ideal to ride the bus to school, walk to the school parking lot and drive off in Kenny's car. Just to prove she COULD drive. So the two sisters get into the car start it up and off they go. My grandmother had overheard the girls plotting their car theft that morning but for reasons of her own didn't stop them. She was standing on the front porch when they went tearing down the road in Kenny's car and the only thing she said was "well, there they go". I guess Shirley didn't do too bad since she got Kenny's car back in mostly one piece although she didn't manage to get it back before school was out and the two girls missed getting back on the bus to ride home. Poor Kenny had to drive them and as was typical of him, he took it all with quietly good humor. Even the part where my grandmother let him have it for leaving his keys in his car so the girls were able to steal it. Kenny must have been used to his mother-in-law's logic by then because he apparently didn't say a word. My grandmother was a character to say the least and surley God gave Kenny a mansion on the other side of Heaven as his reward.
