They See Me Rollin'....

sccooooooooooteeeeeer!

Well that's supposed to say scooter but my finger got a little crazy. :)

So monday and tuesday I was hanging out with my neighbors that are a few years younger than me and we started playing basketball. Then before you knew it, I was ooberly hyper and ready to run around my house, lack of sleep does that to me. So I ran into my garage and hopped on my old scooter and started riding around.
When I was younger, every kid that was someone had a scooter. Whether they were the usual silver or not, everyone had one. Mine is blue from handle bar to break and I was in love with it. I did tricks, races, and just plain-old rides on it every day. I never thought that I would miss being a kid again until I grew up and saw what it's like, but that's for a different time.
Back to scooters.....
On monday, my neighbor Curtis and I decided to see who could do the coolest tricks still. Him, being 2 1/2 years younger than me, still has a little skill. But me on the other hand lost all of my skillful-ness and crashed and burned.... literally. I didn't see the pole in my garage before it was too late and the front tire and my forehead stopped me. OUCH! But I rode it off and felt better in about 5 minutes.
The childhood toys that we grew up with are suddenly disappearing and we're forgetting them. But as long as I'm a kid at heart, you can catch me running into poles full force or trying to remember my cool surf trick.
