Because the clamoring masses have inquired, here is the story: Last weekend I went out to Kim0's for the world's most scrumptious dinner. It's Kim0, after all, so all bets are off. On the menu: grilled tenderloin, seasoned fries, EVO/parmesan-sprinkled asparagus and for dessert - grab all women and children - Almond Joy on Steroids cake. O my word! Toss caution to the wind and never mind that my son's wedding is within grasp. Thighs be damned, pass the cake!
The boys were there ~ Caden & Sage and cousin Booker. As they whirled around the substantial family estate, Caden/Sage took turns driving the newly-acquired dirt bike while Booker followed on the 4-wheeler. "How fun is that! I'd love to do that!" I mindlessly commented. Then it happened! Kim threw down the gauntlet: "Do you want to take a spin on the dirt bike? The boys would love it!" I couldn't resist.
Caden strapped me into the helmet and offered a quick lesson in brakes and gears. I forgot both. But never mind, in the end when it came time to stop, the stacked boxes by the garage refrigerator stopped the trajectory. It doesn't pay to show-off as you enter the garage! Lesson learned.
Dinner convo:
Booker: "I've never known a Grandma who rode a dirt bike."
After hearing the hefty mileage pumped last bike season, he said, "That was unexpected!!"
me: "What do you mean?" I asked gasping for breath.
B: "I could only ride one or two miles."
me: "Yes, but you whip a mean 4-wheeler, Dude!"

Care! What the honk?!?
Hey Cher! Dirt bikin' was fun-er-ennooo but we won't be quitting our day job anytime soon to go full-time around the track.
Talked to Dan0 and Kristi at the apt the other night on speaker phone and K said the rip-snortin' story was the first she heard from Booker when she came home. As Gabe would say, "Now Mom's a legend in her own mind." hahahhahaha
I can just see you on that dirt bike, grandmother!
Best story ever!! You rock and I want to be like you when I grow up!
xox
This is a little known fact, not to brag, but I rode a dirt-bike while pregnant with my children. So don't be challenging this Granma unless you know what your doing! There I was, great with child, 1 kid in front of me and 1 kid behind. Try that Granma Caren! The Real Granma! Corinney
