In this part of the country outdoor activities such as snowmobiling and four wheeling, are very common activities. My family has never owned either of these fancy contraptions so the only time we ever got to experiece the bliss of wind blowing through our hair and mud or snow hitting us in the face was when we were with friends.
These past two days however i've discovered why it is that my parents have always been unwilling to give into our plee for such pleasures. We would all be in full body casts within a day! My sisters drive with no sympathy for the innocent victims clinging to the dragging JT, swinging them around as if they were nothing but an insignificant piece of meat dangling on a rope.
While i was riding on one of the sleds behind the 4 wheeler (because we'd already damaged the snowmobile to the brink of complete broken-ness) my sister decided to bring me over a rather mountainous jump, containing little to no padding at the landing. Infact, the landing just happened to be a dirt road!
Now, looking at this logically, it is neither safe nor amusing to be hauled over a monstrous jump with no knowledge of where you will soon be lying (because the sled obviously will not stay beneath you).
Anyways, it caused tremendous amounts of pain at the time being, but i've recovered quickly. I guess it's helpful to have extra padding on your bottom. I guess it truly is a blessing.
Anyways, this has just been one of the many incidents occuring with such a toy. Any my mother, not even knowing about the majority of them, has continued on with her fight against our recieving of one. While i am moderatly upset with this decision it is an honourable fight and i support her stand. Besides, it saves money and allows us more excuses to go to visit friends!
-all things so have a reason!-
