I have made an effortless decision as a parent. A decision that most would say does take a lot of effort, one that is of the utmost important in an adolescents life - but not for me, Mallory made it easy. This decision is this; on Mallory's 16th birthday she will not be getting a car, she will be getting a Ranger.
The Ranger is best described as a supped up golf cart with the capability of hauling cargo. It has off-road tires and a small cargo bed in the back for carting around whatever large cargo you feel necessary. It also goes much faster then a golf cart and in turn can be somewhat of a small adrenaline rush considering how small it is. In addition, it is Mallory's favorite thing about going to Grandma & Grandpa Sach's.
Once arriving at their house, she almost immediately heads to the garage and takes it upon herself to not only climb in, but to climb into the drivers seat complete with hands on the wheel. I really do think we spent the majority of our several hours there riding in the Ranger just to appease her. However, when glancing down at her little face as the wind was hitting it from the speed, it was impossible not to smile. Her eyes lit up and her teeth were showing the entire time she was in the Ranger.
I wonder if Grandma and Grandpa would sell it to us for her 16th birthday....?
