ON THURSDAY, A SWEET, OLDER GENTLEMAN... GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, TURNED RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF BRAD'S PICK UP...AS HE WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH....BOTH MEN ARE FINE...  BRAD'S PICK-UP DID GET TOTALED OUT AND THERE'S A BENT OVER STOP SIGN...  I WON'T  BORE YOU WITH ANYMORE DETAILS...OTHER THEN THE PICK-UP IS DRIVE-ABLE... BUT NOT WORTH FIXING.

SO?  WHAT'S A "HOMESCHOOL-ONLY-CHILD" DO FOR FUN AFTER LESSONS? 

WELL, OF COURSE..... HE ASKS DAD FOR THE KEYS AND DRIVES AROUND THE FIELD FOR AN HOUR!   ZOOMING AROUND...BLINKERS ON, BLINKERS OFF, RADIO TURNED TO COUNTRY MUSIC, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON!  TAKING THE CORNERS ON IMPULSE AND OTHER THINGS...I'M SURE I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT.

HE SUDDENLY REALIZED PUBLIC SCHOOL WAS OUT FOR THE DAY... AND DECIDED TO PULL UP TO THE ROAD (NOT ON THE ROAD...JUST IN THE FIELD)... PARK , BEEP AND WAVE OUT THE WINDOW TO THE SCHOOL BUS KIDS AND THE PARADE OF MINI-VAN DRIVING FAMILIES ZIPPING DOWN THE ROAD!  MY MOTHERLY INSTINCT KICKED IN... I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS VERY NICE OF HIM TO DO... BUT, THEN I REMEMBERED...WELL....THE TRUTH IS.... I'M SURE I WOULD OF DONE THE SAME THING.  SO, WITH A SMILE, WINK AND NOD, I TURNED AWAY.

MAYBE THIS IS WHY SO MANY MOMS DON'T LET THEIR KIDS COME OVER TO PLAY WITH TOMMIE?  IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE MOMS... DON'T WORRY... I'D AT LEAST RIDE WITH YOUR CHILD....UNTIL HE GOT THE HANG OF IT)...  smile, wink, nod!

I'm surprised he can reach the pedals. Was he using a baseball bat to press them? I'm sure Tommie will be a safe NASCAR driver when he grows up!! -R
