"I Hate That Stupid Bike"

Since you all know what a green thumb I (don't) have, the hubby thought some mulch in the front would spruce things up (and it did). So off he goes to the nursery and comes back with a load of mulch for the yard. Matt was more than willing to help...Mikey was busy learning to ride his bike (thank god for helmets!!). The first thing he did was get on and glide down the driveway...right into the side of my car. All I could think was, "oh no, I'm afraid to look at the size of the dent." Surprisingly, no dent. Now Mikey is starting to get the hang of this pedaling thing...and pedals right into the side of Brandon's truck (each time, Mikey announces, "I am ok"). The last straw was when the little darling totally wipes out on the sidewalk (thank god for helmets!), gets up, throws his hands in the air and shouts, "I hate that stupid bike." I must admit that it was rather comical...and yes, I did laugh when he fell (even when he hit the cars), but so did his father! He is persistant though... five minutes later he was ready to ride again. And this time, it was rather boring...not even a tumble to grin at!!! (Go ahead...tell me how terrible I am....)
