Oh. Em. Gee.

Reed came home from school today, did his homework, then headed outside. He was gone a while, but I wasn't paying all that much attention to the time.

Then he came back in the house and said "Guess where I just went!". I guessed the pool, because Amy is there. He said "No, I went to McDonalds!"

You went WHERE? McDonalds. The one that's 2 miles away, across two fairly busy 4-lane roads? THAT McDonalds?

Holy crap!

He said "You told me I could go farther when I ride my bike."

Yes, I did.

Because you were riding your bike pretty much within a 2-block radius. I certainly never thought Reed would ride that far!!!

Great googly moogly. "A" is home, "B" is McDonalds. Not marked: dangerous road crossings.

Good for you, Reedy.
