How many times can I say no before giving into His handsome face? I started to think about all the things I plan to ask for this year and felt myself softening up. His little boy pleading eyes were too much for me this time as he anounced that he found his dream bike. So I said, “Yes. But please don’t die. There aren’t a lot of men standing in line for your job of daddy to 6 ready made babies. We need you.”
He said, “I’ll be safe. I promise. Think about all the money we’ll save on gas. Think about how much fun we’ll have riding together. The weather is so nice right now. I’ll take a safety class.”
Now I pray a little more than I did before.
Your comment about daddies-in-waiting cracked me up! I have said that to my husband as he goes off to do crazy things. He never knows quite how to take it!
My hubby looked at me with his pleading eyes 2 years ago. After buying a cheap though running well bike and taking the safety course he was off. He promised to wear his helmet and text when he arrives and when he leaves. He has now graduated to a nicer bike with a nice seat with a back rest for me. We call her Zena and take her on bi-weekly dates – short jaunts around the city – just to take a walk and have some date time 🙂 He was thrilled when I agreed to ride with him and even bought me my own helmet 🙂
Way to go Darren! My husband got a bike last year and while I was initially hesitant, it has turned out to be great fun! I am not sure about the money saved since he is in construction and still takes his truck to work out of town most weeks. oh, and daddies-in-waiting! LOL I have 8 kids and I don’t see many willing to take on my brood either.
I was thrilled when our younger son sold his motorcycle last Saturday! He and his wife are expecting a baby in September. They enjoyed riding it but now I hope not to worry so much.
My husband tries to talk himself into a motorcycle every six months or so. He commutes 100 miles a day, so the gas-factor is definitely a big one. He always manages to talk himself out of it with no input from me, so I just smile and nod. I know he’d enjoy it but he knows he wouldn’t be as safe as he should be. So I am thankful that he is grown up enough to know his limitations. I hope you guys have fun!
