A Michigan man says he was left with a $1,000 bill after his 6-year-old son ordered a virtual smorgasbord of food from several restaurants last weekend, leading to a string of unexpected deliveries — and maybe a starring role in an ad campaign.
密西根州一名男子說，他6歲的兒子上週末上網從幾家餐館點了一堆食物，結果導致一連串意外送貨，留給他一張1000美元帳單，也許還能他當上廣告主角。
Keith Stonehouse said the food piled up quickly at his Detroit-area home Saturday night after he let his son, Mason, use his cellphone to play a game before bed. He said the youngster instead used his father’s Grubhub account to order food from one restaurant after another.
基思‧斯通豪斯說，週六晚上，他讓兒子梅森在睡前用手機玩遊戲後，他位於底特律地區的家中食物很快就堆積起來。他說，這個孩子反而使用父親的（食物外送平台）Grubhub帳號，從一家又一家的餐館點餐。
The boy’s mother, Kristin Stonehouse, told The Associated Press on Thursday that Grubhub has reached out to the family and offered them a $1,000 gift card. The company also is considering using the family in an online promotional campaign, she said.（AP）
