Childhood Is Fast

Childhood is the fastest time of your life. You get a tricycle and you ride like the wind. You feel invincible, unstoppable, wild and free. Your mother is yelling for you to slow down Grandma is hollering for you to take the next block. Two months later you are putting your hand out for the car keys. Anyway, it seems like two months later. Your parents have blinked their eyes and you have a permit. You have never bought a vehicle. You do not know what car insurance is. But Grandma is there, handing you her car keys.
