Although he has the right to walk, the big truck seems more determined to cross.

As they look around the store she seems surprised. "It's like a ghost town in here!"

They bump heads in the park, literally. It's a fun game now. Watching them doesn't help me understand children...

...but it does help me understand some adults.

As he reaches to lift himself up, his baggy pants refuse to go with. His SpongeBob underwear now out for the whole world to see.

It would seem so much more fitting if he were two, instead of 22.

He stares intently out the window, back at a possum who didn't make it across the road. Mom stares intently at him in her rear view mirror.

She's struggling enough as it is, in those boots not so made for walking. He hesitates, knowing what trouble he's about to get in.

The bicycle spills, taking him with it. Strangers stand near by and stare. A man approaches and looks down intently at him... then walks off.

They sit with their heads in their hands, each more 'whoa is me' than the next.

As he tugs furiously at his father's sleeve, he urges, 'I... caaaan't.... waaaaaiiiit.'
