Gravity

Carter is my little saver. He likes to save his money, and when he does spend, he buys quality things. He feels (and is just repeating what his dad says I'm sure!) that you get what you pay for. So, when they were buying bikes this year, Carter opted for a Mongoose, which was about $30 more than Carson's. Carson is on his bike about triple what Carter is. Carter is always making comments to Carson about why he should have bought the Mongoose. It is really funny because has more to do with how Carter treats it, as well as the number of hours logged in on it, than the price of it. (Carson opted for one that is shorter. If it's not as "stretched" out he knows that he can do more tricks with it.) Today Carter tells me that he loves his Mongoose because, "it has way less gravity than Carsons. When I jump I stay in the air for like 3 seconds longer than Cars." And he's nodding his head like he's so cool. I looked over at him getting ready to teach him about gravity...I just stopped, smiled and said, "Awesome!" He responded, "I know, huh." and on with our day we went. Pretty cute how they think. It's all about the Mongoose baby!!! (I dread the day when I have to start buying them "real" bikes and not Wal-Mart cheapies!)
