You Tell 'Em Son!

Is this proof that homeschoolers lack average social skills?  If so, we'll stick with homeschooling :)

A few years ago, my father whom we call Pappy, gave Biggest a dirtbike.  Biggest is allowed to ride the dirtbike at Pappy's house provided he follows a few rules.

1. Always wear helmet, chest guard and riding boots

2. Stay off the road

3. No riding when people are on the lawn

Well about a week ago we were visiting Pappy's house and Biggest was riding his dirtbike outside.  Across the street a neighborhood tween/teen girl was having a birthday party.  These girls were parading around the neighborhood in crazy outfits, colorful boas, over sized sunglasses, clown wigs and leave-nothing-to-the-imagination bikinis.

These girls-who Biggest does not know-marched themselves, bikinis and all, over to Pappy's yard and flagged Biggest down.  He stopped to see what they wanted.  They told him to take off his helmet, I guess they wanted to see what he looked like, I don't know.  He told them "no" and went on riding.  The girls then plopped themselves down in Pappy's yard in a playful protest so Biggest couldn't pass.  He had to stop riding again.  This time he not so politely told them:

"Please get off the property."

I had to laugh when he told me this story.  I don't know if he's shy or still not too into girls or if he's not into scantily clad girls.  Either way I was a bit tickled with the outcome.  No hoochies!
