A friend of mine talking to his daughter who has a new bicycle. She fell down trying to ride in the gravel driveway. He had told her that wasn’t a good idea and walk the bike down the driveway. Well, she feel again. This time with a little stronger voice he said “ listen honey, we have already covered that you shouldn’t bike on the gravel driveway. So if you’re going to be stupid, you have to toughen up”. I about pee’d my pants.
