That's My Boy!

My 12 year old son just called to me while playing his Mercinaries 2 video game "...Hey dad! Check this out!" There's a Firebird-looking car on there and he figured out how to do a smokey power-brake burnout by holding the gas and brake at the same time.  

"Hey! Look at it from the side! Isn't that cool!!??"  

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

lol reminds me when I was 12 my dad was teaching me how to drive (in his '70 Satellite Sport Coupe) in our subdivision on our way hopme from the store he hopped out a down the street from the house there were a few guys standing in a yard drinkin, and as I hopped in they give me the sign to light em up. I looked at my dad he said don't even think about it, as i started rolling I stomped on it and blew the tires off for a second   dad just starts laughing soon as we make it home my moms out front and as we pull up she yells your gunna get the cops called on you Frank!, wait what, Korey what are you doing driving?!

  Sitting in my lap, my 5 & 7 yr olds regularly steer a couple of mine around, figure it is good training with intent that the more they do in the yard/pasture, the dangerous stuff they hopefully recognize on the roads with a licence.  If they want one in 8-10 yrs, I intend on letting them have a muscle car of sorts in HS (as my parents did with 440 car and guns), working on teaching responsibly.        oh yeah he is 5, I have a long way to go......
