Did you see that? All I had to do was move that thingie on the side of the wheel and we rolled, all the way down past all of those other cars! Okay, crashing was a little scary, but aside from that, what fun! I used to beg Mommy to bump into other scooters on walks but she never would, and now I’ve done it big. I don’t know why they’re all screaming, Mommy and those firefighters. I’m okay. Not a bump. All Mommy needs to do is get back in and back up. Maybe I can do it again!
