Driveway Demolition Derby

We have a shared driveway two lanes wide that runs almost the entire length of our lot. We can park 14 large cars on this vast blacktop expanse. One would think two little boys on two small riding toys could play easily without colliding into one another, but as I remind Sandy daily, we have BOYS. Rather than trying to avoid an impact, they seek them. After each loud plastic on plastic crash both boys would shriek with satisfied laughter. They would also compete by pushing each other wheel to wheel in a reverse tug of war. After observing this, Zack Roberts and I steered them away from their demolition competition and towards drag racing. I sense that we’ll regret that too.
