I finally decided it was time; my knees have had enough. Yesterday there was a knock at the door. The FedEx man dropped off a heavy box:
Hmmm.....
Some assembly required??
No problem!! I'm mechanical....
Whee!! Let's go for a ride!
It bemused me to read on the instruction sheet that this was not a toy for children. What?! Any kid worth his salt would immediately hop on this and ride around! I'd be disappointed if he or she didn't! So.... my daughter & I took turns pulling each other across the yard and back, with Lola Bug (the amazing chihuahua whatever) riding along. It was all a joyride, accompanied by spontaneous whoops & hollers & laughter (and neighbors peeking through their curtains?).....until I felt myself losing my balance! I quickly put my foot down-- thus barking my ankle on the front axle and unceremoniously dropping the dog in the process. Ouch! Yeah, it's all fun & games until somebody gets hurt! I guess I'll need adult supervision in the future! Calling Mr. Pocketts!!!!
