Our driveway has a nice slope to it so Aiden likes to ride his tricycle down the hill as fast as the wheels will take him. He makes us all very nervous so we make sure he wears his helmet.
Me: If you're going out to ride your bike, you better get your helmet first.
Aiden: I can't find my helmet!
Me: Please look for it. I'm sure its in the garage.
Aiden: How about I ride real slow, Mommy?
Me: No, Aiden. You know the rules. If you don't wear your helmet you're going to get a ticket. And if you get 3 tickets, I'll have to take your bike away for while and you won't get to ride it.
Aiden: How about I just get one ticket today?
Let's push the envelope...I know the rule but want to try to renegotiate. Let's see how far I can push and push...
ReplyDeleteSorry Aiden, your Mommy and Daddy know ALL the tricks because they've tried them too. Talk all you want but they are stuck on cement into doing what's right. Helmet, helmet, helmet...we like your head in one piece little guy.
