At Least I'm Raising Him Right

I've been a bike commuter for about five years now. I didn't realize how much of it had rubbed off on my son until last night when we were in the car waiting at a stop sign. A guy on a bike was coming down the street on the wrong side and my son suddenly pointed and yelled, "SALMON!!!"

My son took his traffic commentary lessons from Captain Haddock



I need to keep getting him to dial it back a fair bit.

He does ride off to middle school safely though.

Hahaha, that's great.

I saw a mother teaching her children good pedestrian skills today, and they were very receptive. I'm gonna make a hasty generalization and say (human) kids these days are all right (goat kids are another story).
