Caleb Buys a Webkins...

The other night, Ryan and Caleb went to Walgreen's near our home to pick up a Redbox movie. While there, Caleb saw a Webkins animal that he just had to have. Ryan told him that he could come back and buy it later with his own $.
As soon as they got home Caleb ran upstairs and counted out the $7. Neither of us felt like driving back to Walgreen's. So, Ryan told him to ride is bike and get it himself!

"What?, He's only 6! And, that's 3 miles round trip!" I thought.

Caleb said, "But, I don't think I'm old enough to go by myself."

Ryan assured him that he was old enough and told him to go get his bike.

"You know I'm going to follow him the whole way in the car?" I told Ryan.

But, Ryan had a different plan:
He trailed Caleb the whole way on his skateboard.
Hid behind a pillar while Caleb went inside and paid.
Listened as Caleb came out shouting, "I got it! Whoo Hoo! Yeah! I got it!"
Watched as Caleb carried it in his teeth while riding home.

It was only after he got home that we noticed his flat tire!
