Pip and the Purple two-wheeler

This girl of mine now rides two wheels. She has for a while..but the King-dad-bike-guy never took them off. I take them out for a bike ride yesterday, the safety boy brought his water bottle... in case of dehydration issues, it only took him TWENTY MINUTES to fill it up. So, who heard me yelling COOOOMMMMMMEEEEEEEE OOOOOOONNNNNNNNN...  to him? As far as I know here in big BC, especially in little Port Coquitlam... we have very good water pressure....although safety boy can magically change that scenario. WE start to ride... the girl is instantly gone... leaving us in her purple dust... and she's riding and talking.... like turning her head around and talking at myself and Mr Safety... uh Pip... could you just turn around and ride.. I call out to her. We kind of rode forever along the dike.....we were almost at a stopping point, when she decides she's had enough, and turns around to head for home. Say Pip.... who's the adult here....you are supposed to stay with me. She says "No, this is far enough, you are going to drive straight into that bridge over their... so I'm turning around and going back home, besides, I need to get to that secret trail". Luckily I had a treat for Her Royal Beastiness. We head for home... but first we spot a snake.... Mr Safety stays a safe 10 feet away... and begins to tell The Pipster to stay back.... not her... her and her purple roadster ride right up to it. "I love that guy!!! she yells.... "Look how fast he moved... I think I want a snake of my own!!" she says. Mr Safety comes to investigate after the snake is long gone.  WE leave and once again we ride in purple dust. Along comes this hill that leads to the secret trail... so I say to the Pip... slow down... get off y.-----bi-------e.. OKAY...... don't get off you bike... you just keep going girl.... see how fast you can really go BEFORE YOU FLY OFF THAT PURPLE POWER MACHINE OF YOURS !!!! Ya hoo !!!! she starts yelling... " Ma ma... Ma ma'.. did you see how fast I went... I thought you were going to tell me to slow down... but I just wanted to see how fast I could go!" (Yes that's right Pipster... oh little girl with a pleated summer skirt, sandles and a matching spaghetti strap shirt...yes, there would have been nothing left of you..... and definitely a good experiment..... so have I written about my hair colour that says permanent.. with no fading.... well it's not doing what it's supposed to... I am not certain if it has anything to do with the hair colour at all...... or it might have something to do with the Purple Dust Creator.) WE continue on home... the whole while she's clipping along on her "magic purple machine", and Safety Boy is busy hissing about looks at what she's doing.. I can't believe that.... why does she do that.... make her stop that... she's going to hurt herself....she's such an embarassment....please be silent and ride Mr Safety....
Today, once again lady Pip took the Purple Power out for another spin... first to the park so she could go swimming... and then she pleads with me.. to go the long way home... what ever Pip... and off we go. I'm walking, she's riding. And that was that.... so... I'll see you at home K Ma Ma. Umm, once again... Pip... you are with me... remember... kids stay with adults... hey Pip... did you hear me...Pip.... kids stay with adults.... PIP !!!..... I call out to her as she cruises around the corner, waves.... "I'll see you at home"..... oh well.... I just keep walking along. When I reach the trail... their she is. Bike laying in the dust.. her sitting on a barricade. Well Pip... what happened here... I look.... her knee has been busy bleeding for a while. WE dump a bunch of water on it... she rides home.... where she proceeds to go in the house... clean it out.. find some bandaids.. comes back out... and wants to go riding with her friends. PIP ------ NO !!!!!

You've got quite a fireball in that girl of yours...at least you've got Mr. Safety for some balance.
