6-year-old boy summons $1,000 in food deliveries off Grubhub

Imagine: Delivery car after delivery car pulls up to your house, bags of takeout dinners pile up on your porch, and they just keep coming. That's what happened to a Michigan man who says his 6-year-old son ordered more than $1,000 worth of Grubhub grub on the dad's phone.

Keith Stonehouse said he let his son Mason play with his phone for a half-hour last weekend at their house in Chesterfield Township, in the Detroit area. But this was no game: Mason ordered a feast using Stonehouse's Grubhub account — jumbo shrimp, salads, shawarma and chicken pita sandwiches, chili cheese fries and more. The food came from several restaurants, so a string of cars descended on their house in rapid succession, the doorbell rang and rang, and the food piled up outside the front door.

Stonehouse said several orders had arrived before it started to dawn on him what was going on. By that time, there was nothing he could do to stop the delivery cars from coming.

“This was like something out of a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit,” Keith Stonehouse told MLive.com.

He added: "I don’t really find it funny yet, but I can laugh with people a little bit. It’s a lot of money and it kind of came out of nowhere.”

“It’s five orders of 20-piece jumbo shrimp, a bunch of chicken sandwiches, chili cheese fries and ice cream and grape leaves and rice and more sandwiches, and I’m like, ‘What is going on?’” Stonehouse told NBC's "Today" show. “I’m piling it all up and I couldn’t figure it out.”
