Need A Ride?
As gas prices continue to rise, it brings me comfort to know that if I can no longer afford to drive my cars, I can get around with any one of the nine or ten transportation vehicles that belong to my children.
When I was younger, I had one personal mode of transportation. First the stroller, then a wagon. I graduated to a big wheel and finally a bicycle. My children have no fewer than two of each. My garage looks like a parking lot for a Wiggles fan club meeting.
I'm not against choice in transportation or anything, I just can't imagine my two-year-old strolling out to the garage and thinking "I need to go ride something perilously close to the street today...do I feel like the tricycle or the wagon?" (By the way, he is able to steer neither)
I'm really afraid this is setting them up for disappointment later in life when they turn 16 and their options for vehicular transportation are less than one.

Brilliant and funny.
My husband works in NH, down the street from the Segueway factory and he sees employees from there wheeling down the street to the local sandwich joint. Sometimes he feels like he wants to run them off the road in his car.
