TYLER: “Mom, can I ride my bike down the big dirt hill?”
ME: “Honey, we have to go to Gammy’s 25th anniversary in a little while & I don’t have time for an ER visit this afternoon. So, if you think you can do it without any major injuries then have fun!”
TYLER: “Okay! Thanks Mom!”
20 minutes later:
TYLER: “Mom! That was sooo much fun!”
. . . And he wonders why I won’t let him get a dirt bike!
