True story...
Toby: So my friend needs to borrow my truck tonight...and that's ok because my motorcycle is at his house and I can just ride it home...
Me: Ok....?
Toby: Well there's just one problem... I don't have a helmet or my jacket.
Me: Ok....so do you want me to drive it in to you? Because I could just pick you up if I'm driving in? Or do you want to go buy a new helmet?
Toby: Well....I don't want to go spend a bunch of money on a new helmet. Maybe I should just ride home without one.
Me: No...why don't you just borrow your friend's helmet?
Toby: It doesn't fit - my head is too big. And besides, if I take his helmet, he won't be able to ride his motorcycle.
Me: Nice try. His motorcycle is sitting in our garage, remember? His helmet is not too small, I remember what size it is. You're not riding home without a helmet....but nice try. You're as bas as a kid!
If you think I am kidding about how boy-like Toby is about the bike....here is a photo of him while were sitting in the bike dealership waiting for paperwork to be done. He was zoned out....
Then I said "hey you're getting a new bike, remember?"

LOVE IT. It is so interesting how much they ARE like little boys.
Holly, to Toby's defense, I did have a helmet waiting for him to ride back home. Sounds like you and Amber got the "no helmet - no riding" rule down pat. I broke it once to find my helmet waiting for me on the front porch. Last time that happened.
