Me: “Okay, well don’t expect much. We’re starting out last, and the two-person cars are slower than the others. But it’s not about winning and losing. It’s about having fun, right?”
Troy: “Right. What’s this silver pedal for?”
Me: “That’s the gas. It’s what makes us go.”
Troy: “What’s the red pedal for?”
Me: “That’s the brake. We won’t be using that.”
Troy: “Oh, here we go, dada! Woo hoo! This is amazing! Oh my gosh, that kid just crashed into the wall.”
Me: “Oh well. He should learn not to take the corners so tight.”
Troy: “This is so cool. We’re zigging this way and then zagging that way. Watch out, dada! Those two cars just ran into each other!”
Me: “I see them.”
Troy: “Whoa! You passed both of them. I totally thought you were going to hit them! Okay, dada, now don’t hit anything.”
Me: “I’m not going to hit anything. I do know how to drive, you know?! I got this.”
Troy: “I know. You’re doing great.”
Me: “Are you having fun?”
Troy: “Yes, we’re going so fast! Watch it, that guy hit the wall, he’s sliding out of control! Don’t hit him!”
Me: “I’m passing on the inside. Sucks to be him.”
Troy: “Wait, we’re in first place, dada. Keep going!”
Me: "Oh, he won’t be passing us. Nothing but open track ahead of us.”
Troy: “That guy is waving us through the wall.”
Me: “Yeah, our time is up. You know what that means? We won, bud.”
Troy: “We did?! Yeah! Good job, dada!”
