Acceptable child Abuse

Since the weather has been so nice this week in Snowflake I wanted to go for a bicycle ride. I got Paige put in the little seat attached to my bike and got ready to go. I look over at Kohan and he has his stick horse.
I say "dude get on your bike so we can go for a ride around the block".

Kohan replies, "nope I'm gonna ride my horse cause he needs the exercise."

"Alright" I say. "I hope you can keep up."

"Mom, my horse is super fast, I hope you can keep up."

So off we go around the block me on my bike with Paige on tote, and Kohan and his stick horse, Black trotting along side.

The whole way.

Out of curiousity on how far the kid could go trotting along side I pushed it to one, two, three, four blocks. We had passerbyers double take Kohan, a few honks and waves and chuckles from neighbors and screeches of joy from one admiring sister. We rounded the corner to our street and Kohan slows down to a walk.

"Mom my horse is super tired, he just can't go anymore. I need to park him and get my bike."

So we put the horse back in the barn and set off for yet another journey around the block.
