Flats and Fragility

Tuesday morning I had a flat tire.

I knew when I pulled out of the drive way it seemed to drive strangely.

I got to the end of the street and got out to check.

Sure nuf.

It was almost flat.

Mike had not left yet so I called him.

Me hero to the rescue.

Carson watching dear ole Dad.
Waiting with the spare.
Mike thought it a good idea to teach Carson how to change a flat.
I think he had fun learning and helping.

I'm sure people that were driving by were wondering why that man was just standing there making his kid do all the work.

A quick trip to the Brother-In-Law's shop in Jacksonville

Thanks Scott!!!

We were back rolling along.

Of course Carson was starving (yes, he's obviously a little tardy) we stopped by McDonald's for breakfast. After leaving McDonald's (with our coupon for free fries...you know-off the side of the McDonald's cups). Carson noted that the expiration date was November 13.

Carson: That's right after Dad's surgery isn't it?

Me: Yes he's having surgery the 12th.

Carson: What is he having surgery on?

Me: His knee.

(Now keep in mind Carson is only 10 years old and has no medical training what-so-ever)

Carson: The knee is the most fragile part in an old man's body.

I told Mike about his son's comment.

After he laughed I think he wanted to give him a good whipping.

He just can't grasp the whole getting old deal.
