OUCH!!!! A 7-year-old has to take the scooter away from his dad
So last night we are at Jade's diving class at the U. Natatorium. There are probably 15 kids in the class so the rotation of Jade diving is 3 to 5 minutes. There's lots of concrete surrounding the pool and Javan always wants to bring his scooter. I decide that Javan needs to try something cool instead of just pure speed. I take over and find a drop off onto the grass, no big deal. I get some good speed going and hop to land on the grass...head over sprawling. Javan walks over and picks up the scooter and says, "that's enough dad. You are already scraped up enough." I figure it's not all that bad. I tell him I want to try something else and with much coercion I get the scooter back. I should have listened. This time I decided to wheelie-land so I could ride it on the grass. So I jump and land on the back wheel and sure enough the scooter goes right out from under me and I land flat on my back...fortunately on the grass. Javan looked at me, shocked and dismayed to say the least. Again he picked up the scooter and said, "Let's go inside and sit down. I don't think you should do that again." Me either...
I wonder what T$ is up to right now...
