happy birthday
A three-year-old boy drove his toy truck into the Peace River and floated eight miles downstream.
“He was on a battery-powered children’s toy truck,” said Nardi. “His mom said he really likes driving through puddles in it.”

It’s all down hill from adventures like that.
When I was 3, I took the family sedan for a ride from our driveway into the street. A teenaged cousin was supposed to be watching me, but, of course, she was talking to a boy. My friend, Peter, from next door, came along for the ride. I told him we were going to California. I was quite pleased at my ability to put the car into neutral and back out into the street, but Peter went into hysterics and plastered his face against the window, yelling Ayúdame. If he hadn’t have been such a babyfoot, we’d be living in California now.
And I just tried to dig my way to China. Reading Cindy I am ashamed of my childhood ennui.
