Teen Learning To Drive Accidentally Kills Mother

<snip>

MARLBORO, N.J. -- A 16-year-old girl learning to drive has accidentally run over her mother.

It happened Thursday in Marlboro, New Jersey.

Authorities say the woman was killed while teaching her daughter to parallel park. The mother had set up cones and was outside the car guiding her daughter when the girl accidentally hit the accelerator. The 44-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

The girl did have a learner's permit.

2. schoddenfreuder

In other words, finding humor in other people's suffering. I'm not sure if I spelled it right.

Horrible, tragic and funny to see in print at the same time.

4. Schadenfreude

schadenfreude \SHAHD-n-froy-duh\, noun:
A malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others.

I don't think this was the word you meant. If it was one of the twins running over Laura and you were pleased because The Chimp was suffering- That's 'schadenfreude.' Freude=joy-don't know the meaning of 'schaden'
