Do You Have A Plan B?

Gorgeous day.

Outside with Princess, her bike and her new bell (for the bike).

She's HAULING up and down the sidewalk as I watch from the top of the driveway.

She shouts from the neighbor's driveway, "HEY, MOM! Come stand in the sidewalk. I want to test my new bell to see if it works."

ME: "Why do I need to stand on the sidewalk for you to test your bell?"

HER: "Because. I'm gonna take off, and try to ring the bell when I get close to you. If you hear it, you need to move outta the way."

ME: "So, if the bell doesn't work, I just stand here and let you ride into me."

HER: "Yep. (pause) I bet you hope my bell works, huh?"

Um, as a matter of fact, yes.

Hilarious! I thought she was going to ride further and further AWAY to see what kind of distance that bell gets.

T: I have decided you need to stay away from Princess -- you're a bad influence! ;)

Rick: No (x2). Bell worked. Thankfully.
