So this past Saturday started off innocently enough. Riley and I left to the house to run some errands and get the grocery shopping down. In the midst of these pleasant adventures, my cell phone starts to come to life to get my attenion, stopping just short of exploding.
Apparently, on Louie's bike ride to work, the chain decided it didn't want to do it's job anymore and snapped in two, leaving him quasi-stranded at a friend's music store. Well, I can think of worse places to be stuck. So Riley and I speed through check out and drive to the store because Louie still needs to get to work. We get Louie to work, go home to empty out the car, grab a sandwich for the child (because of course it has to be lunch time) and back to the music store we go.
Now here is the dilemna. We don't have a bike rack (which I will be rectifying soon because of the events of this day). This is the trunk of a Toyota Yaris...
And let's pretend this is the bike I own. It's not the exact one but you get the idea...
Now, the moral of the story isn't changing the laws of physics and getting this to work (which I did by the way). It was keeping an almost 21 month old occupied while I did it. So what did I do with Riley you ask? I let him drive the car. As in, I put him in the front seat where he happily pretended to drive, push buttons and go through my coupon organizer. So once the bike situation was resolved, I was met with this lovely vision...
*sigh*
