Sunday at Grandpa's & Grandma

This is a story told to me by Tim. I stayed home with sore throat and bad cold and thoroughly enjoyed having the house to myself to putter around in and 'do stuff'.


Tim took the trainer wheels off Luke's bicycle in the garage while Luke helped with his own wrench. Afterwards, he stood back and with complete exuberance announced, "THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!"
He mastered the two wheels instantly.....and rode off full blast down Grandma and Grandpa's lane in Kailua. He even rode side saddle and tried to come to skidding stops.
Later in the evening he took Dad aside and in his 'man-to-man' voice said, "Dad, I need to talk to you."
"Okay, whuts up?"
"Now that my trainer wheels are off my bicycle are we going to take the trainer wheels off my motorcycle? Because YOU said I could take my trainer wheels off my motorcycle when I learned to ride my big bicycles with no trainer wheels!"
He then looked at Dad and there was a long pause while Dad tried to figure out how to stall taking the trainer wheels off the motorcycle. Tim quickly developed a answer.
"Lukie, I said we would take off the trainers on the motorcycle AFTER you learned to ride your bicycle with no trainer wheels VERY VERY VERY good.
"Well, I rode really good today!"
"I know son but I want you to be able to ride your bike with no mistakes."
"Okay, is that when I'm 5 years old?"
