DD spent a great deal of time preparing and practicing her demonstration for last night's 4H meeting -- How to Properly Fit a Bike Helmet. (Truly the apple did not fall very far from the tree!) Her opening question to the 30 kids who were there was, "How many of you ride a bicycle?" Everyone raised a hand. Her next question was, "How many of you wear a helmet when you ride?" Every hand... yes, every hand went down. Gulp!
After completing her demonstration and handing out additional take-home information, one boy (trying to be difficult in that somewhat amusing way young children often have) demanded, "Do YOU wear your helmet?" Without batting an eye, and with what I thought was amazing self-assurance for a 10-year-old, she replied, "Well since I just got done explaining how to do it and why it's important, I'd say yes I do." Let's hope it made a difference.
