and because I can't NOT blog about this

I took Jacob shopping for a scooter so that he could have something to ride back and forth to work.  Although he turns 16 in April, he can't drive by himself till next October 9th -- which leaves me driving him for another whole year.  Something I would really rather not do.

So we thought a scooter might be the answer to both of our problems.  We did some research, and went to give them a test run.

Which Jacob did.

For about 17 feet.

Before crashing.

Once he had picked his pride up and dusted himself off, saddened that he had torn a hole in his favorite jeans, I paid the man for the damage to the scooter and we left.

Scooterless, for the time being.
