When I set up my office in the new house, I wanted to make sure it had a view. Originally, I wanted to face the pond behind the house, but the only two rooms available for office space had windows in the corners (with one next to the closet, so no way to really gaze out the window at the pond while working. That left the second-floor room in the front – center window facing the field with a covered picnic area and public restroom. Not as glamourous as I had hoped for (insert dramatic sigh here 😁).
However today the view paid off.
As I was sitting here getting ready to write (well rejecting several ideas to write about 😆😆) I watched as a dad on a bike and his daughter (4ish I’d say) in her electric kiddie car ride by, thinking “aww how cute”. Now he is riding behind her at a slow pace because those cars only go so fast, and I give him a lot of credit for keeping his balance at that speed. On the second pass in front of my house he was in front of her, and I watched as she steered right at him. Just as I was thinking “if she hits him, it could be bad” she ran into his back tire, sending the front of her vehicle upwards about a foot or two. The rider felt the bump and that was the extent of any damage. However, as the dad was stepping down off the seat, she hit him again! And I start laughing my ass off 🤣🤣🤣 (in the privacy of my office, of course). It was one of the best laughs I’ve had in a long time because of its spontaneous nature and the innocence in which it happened. And the dad was so sweet about it, just directed her around his bike, having learned his lesson to.
It also reminded me to never let a car of any size stay behind me while biking 😜.
That wholesomely funny scene will bring me joy the rest of the day!
No one was harmed in any manner but it sure was hysterical when she hit him a second time. Also, Word does not flag “ass” as a problematic word choice 😁.
