Well my son just turned a decade old! He'd been suffering with a bike that was actually too small for him. He got where he didn't want to ride it too often ... turns out his 'friends' were ribbing him because it was too small for him. Finally saved up enough to get him a bike for his birthday. HE LOVED IT! It wasn't the most expensive bike, but it was HIS.
He turned 10 on the 14th of June BTW.
On the 15th of June .... he came running home to ask me if I had moved his bike. It had been stolen while he was no less than 5 feet away from it. I hope I find the punk @ss kid that took the thing too! He WILL PAY and so will his parents.
This just isn't cool!
Life lessons sure stink ... especially when you're only 10!
