It goes without saying that Mom was working while UNNAMED DAD was supposed to be taking care of the kids. But that's no fun, so Dad left the wee ones at home while he went out for a nip or two. Unfortunately for dad, he got pulled over for drunk driving on the way home. Whoops. The kids were only 9 months old and 4.

WAUWATOSA, Wis. -- A Milwaukee father is accused of leaving his two young children at home to go out drinking.
Wauwatosa police said they first saw the man driving east on State Street in downtown Wauwatosa, and he did not stop at the flashing red light at North 70th Street.
When police pulled him over, they said they detected alcohol on his breath. The man told them he had been drinking beer.
After several sobriety tests, Wauwatosa police said they arrested the man on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
During questioning, the man told police he was concerned about his daughters who were sleeping at his house. He first told police he had left them alone at 11 p.m. when they were sleeping. He later said he left home at midnight but had been drinking beer before he left home.
The children are 9 months old and 4 years old. Police found them unharmed.
His wife was at work at West Allis Memorial Hospital.
The man is expected in court Tuesday afternoon on child neglect charges.
