Chad just told me this story--it's a good one! He and Grandpa took the boys to Carl's Jr. tonight for dinner since I was still at work (the boys love Tuesday nights--they know it's almost a guarantee that they get to eat out). On the way, Cameron asked Grandpa if he wears a helmet when he rides his bike. To which Grandpa answered, "yes".
(Cameron has noticed that he is one of the very few kids in our neighborhood who has to wear a helmet. I told him that the other parents are stupid and irresponsible--one of the few times he has hear me say stupid. Although I am waiting for him to tell one of them, "my mommy says you are stupid and irresponsible!"---they may be hard words, but that's how strongly I feel about it.)
ANYWAY!!
So then Cameron asked Grandpa if Grandma wears a helmet when she rides her bike.
Grandpa replies, "no."
Cameron asks, "why?"
Grandpa, "because she's a girl."
Cameron, "oh yah, she's a girl, she can do whatever she wants."
I have done my job!!!!! His future wife can thank me now!!!!
You HAVE taught him well! Love my little nephews!
ReplyDeleteIn New York, it is the law that children MUST wear helmets: bikes, trikes, scooters, skateboards, etc. So tell Cameron. I LOVE your blog - I always laugh. Love, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHah, hah. Way to go. His wife will be so grateful.
