I didn’t recognize her without the black sand clinging to her . . . .

kate q- kids should wear helmets, period. Kids can get tickets here for not wearing helmets, and I think that’s great, personally. I know more than one person who was spared serious injury because of a properly-worn bike helmet.

Oh, moms from my hood in London should read this. Seriously. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bunch of people so attached to their cellphones (mobile, in their language). They are probably discussing national security matters, or the strategy to save the world from doom… If only they would start from taking good care of their own kids!

I fell off my bike when I had training wheels and hit my head and look how I turned out!

Which you can take any way you want.

kate q- Well, we’re going to respecfully disagree with each other! If she was in California, which I am not sure of at all, state law mandates that any child under the age of 16 be equipped with a helmet. Head injuries are one of the main accidents that happen to children, and anybody on a bike on a city street, training wheels or no, is smart to wear a helmet.

I must respectfully disagree on one point: the kid does not need a helmet. Helmets for kids on two-wheelers are silly enough. Helmets for kids on bikes *with training wheels* are a symptom of a culture in sad decline.

Haircut? He could use one. Clothes — on either of them — that don’t contribute to the drabness of the day? Might be nice. Putting the phone down and talking to the kid? Absolutely. But the bare head is perfect.

Ok, I don’t have kids, BUT I cannot imagine teaching my child to ride a bike in flip flops. They tend to swerve all over the place. SEems easy way to lose a toe.

AM- Yes, his name in Mingus.

Rain- I am always creeped out by people with Bluetooths, Blueteeths? But I agree, they are a better alternative.

Can she not afford a Blutooth headset? I mean, they make you look like a dementiod hearing voices as you toddle down the street, talking to no-one, but at least you have both hands free.

Also with you on the skirt. That’s not your basic “hanging out with the kids, playing” skirt. It’s just not practical.
