Anyone with young kids? Man they grow up fast. Mine turned 9 today :-$ , seems like just yesterday that he was only 2.
Just thought I would share a funny story with you all. This weekend we had a little party for him out at the ranch. After trying to figure out what to get him for his birthday, we finally decided to get him a go-kart [-o< . So off we go with helmits, goggles, safety belts, etc. When he gets it, he got a little shy on us but eventually came around. Got his helmit, goggles and gloves on, stapped him in, and worry wort that I am stood there waiting for someone to get in with him. :huh: Next thing I know, he's told to GO and he does. I'm madder than a wet hen that he took off on his own with no adult with him, meanwhile everyone is laughing at me telling me to quit worrying.
Every so often we could see him stopping in the middle of the pasture, unstrap himself, get out, walk around to the back and restart the kart. He kept stopping, hitting the kill switch, just so he could (and in his own words) "pull that cord with the handle on it"!
The Kart lasted about an hour and a half before one of the kids got it stuck in a gopher hole, kept gunning it until they burnt the belt up! :banghead:
And I got to sit back with the "I told you so" grin on my face!
