So this weekend I ran over Cam's bike with Scott's truck. In my defense, the bike was laying on the garage floor - and to get into the garage we have to go up a hill and around a corner. With Scott's truck having a much longer front-end than my van I didn't see it. Anyhow, as Cam and I are driving to the store to get him a new bike the other night he told me that he still wanted to keep his old bike. Our conversation went like this:
Cam: I still want to keep my old bike.
Me: Why? It's broken.
Cam: To remember.
Me: Remember what?
Cam: The old days.
You'd think you were talking to an old man lately, with his "younger years" and "old days" comments. Is it possible for a 6 year old to have a mid-life crisis? He is turning 7 soon....really gettin' up there. I'm going to hate to see the state of him when he's 50. How much crap will he have accumulated between now and then for sentimental reasons? Maybe I should introduce him to picture taking and scrapbooking. It'll take up much less space than all of his old bikes.
