That reminds me of an episode I had with my kids.
I bought a kids motorbike for them when they were about 3 & 5 years old. Against their Mums wishes I took them on to a green in front of my house to teach them to ride the bike.
First of all I gave my boy the opportunity to ride it towards me with the instruction that he should stop when he reached me. Unfortunately he was enjoying himself so much that he stayed at WOT all the way but as there was a main road a few yards behind me there was no way I could let him past me so I grabbed him as he was about to pass me.
Unwisely my boy kept a good grip of the handlebars and consequently he and the bike went up in the air and then came back to ground in a heap. In so doing my lads ass cheek and the very small exhaust tail pipe came together in a painful manner and my boy spent the next few minutes hopping about, screaming in pain - poor lad.
In an attempt to avoid a repeat of this scenario when it was Lisa's turn, I decided to run alongside her to give her instructions on the go. Unfortunately the excitement was too much for her and she FROZE with the throttle open when I told her to slow down.
Within the blink of an eye she was accelerating away from me towards the main road, so I had to think and act quick. On a wooden leg I've never been the quickest runner but when your child's life is at risk its amazing what you can do. With a burst of bionic power I managed to get close enough to her to grab her pony tail and yanked on it to get her off the bike.
However once again she like my boy had a steel grip on the bars, so both she and the bike went up in the air, before ending up in a heap on the floor.
This time it was the handlebar end that made contact with Lisa's tummy and winded her.
Thankfully the Langfield genes came to the fore and despite being in great pain as well as gasping for breath, her first words were, "don't tell Mummy", because she won't let me go on the bike again.
I can tell you those words made me VERY PROUD OF HER!!!.
Now obviously I'd been rather stupid at the time (which is often the case when its your first instance) but thankfully I managed to avoid any major injuries and we all learned something new that day.  _________________ Trev (The WIZARD of NOS) |
