I didn't have it so lucky. The first car I drove was one I borrowed late at night. I was 11. It was theft. Even though when the children in my neighborhood did take a car we would never drive it for more than an hour, and we would return it before the owner ever knew it was gone.Agree. But truth be told, my father did the same to me at that age. 1970 American Motors Ambassador was the first car I ever steered back in 1973.
And then We got older... and a couple of us just started not returning them.
My parents didn't give a rat's butt about me. They were dealt a crappy hand, and I had to play it. So to see a man take an interest in a child makes me feel that child is fortunate, and is living a good life.
And I feel as though people need to look at themselves when they say things like what was said. If that man teaches that child how to ride a bicycle in a couple of years then she is just as likely to be killed by a car while riding a bike. So save it. Anyone that feels the need to explain they have a higher regard for the life of that child and are more sensible about raising her are full of themselves. Especially when they decide they need to post such mindless drivel in this forum.
