My daughter Angel has a new love interest who I am going to call Dan. Now Dan is also a friend of my son Alex. Alex and Dan ride motorcycles together. Maybe you can see where this one is going…
Angel thought that it would be fun to ride on the back of Dan’s motorcycle for her first motorcycle ride..
Here comes the dilemma…Alex, Dan, and Angel wanted to go for a ride but only had 2 helmets. So my son decided to sacrifice his helmet for his sister. Sacrifice is probably pushing it quite a bit since I think he wanted to have a good reason for us not to be angry that he was riding without a helmet.
I don’t think the ride went all that well. It rained a bit. Alex bought a piece of junk motorcycle with his tax return money from working all last summer. While they were riding, a piece of Alex’s motorcycle flew off and hit Dan in the leg. Dan has a huge welt on his leg but kept control of the bike. But Angel loved it and has been riding ever since.
Alex and Angel have been exchanging the helmet and apparently now the current status of the helmet is lost. Wonderful! Now what should I do?
And I thought worrying about one kid on a motorcycle was bad!
Outrunning my demons 
as a parent with teenagers, I would be completely freaked out! so, I am guessing this is not your first choice of transportation!

Absolutely not! Since my daughter is 19 and my son will be 18 tomorrow, I just try to keep them as safe as I can. Good news though, my son’s helmet was found in his girlfriend’s car.

yea! so glad for all of you that the helmet was found! I completely understand……..it is so hard to watch them grow up and make decisions that you wish they wouldn’t make………like I tell my kids, I wish I could wrap them all up in bubble wrap (with their faces exposed) to keep them safe……….I guess I have to rely on prayer and hope things I taught them are in their heads somewhere.

Yes, lots of prayers and hope that they listened to a few things we said and by our example. That’s the best we can do when we have little control. Plus being a good listener instead of “I told you so” which is so tempting to do. Lol.
