Birthday party today. My niece and I lay on our backs in the grass, in the shadow of a tree. In a couple of years, she’ll be old enough to drive a moped. She already knows what she wants: a motocross.
— “What kind of moped did you drive back then?” she asks. “I bet it was a dorky one, like the one mom had.”
— “No, no, no,” I say. “Mine was amezeballs. Yamaha DT50MX. Look it up!”
She starts fidgeting with her phone, scrolling through photos. I lean over and point at the exact model I had. (via Semestergas)
Hey, that one actually looks kind of badass!
Approved cool. By a 13-year-old.
