My Birthday is coming up...

Brian came upstairs today and said, in a very excited voice,

"Jen, Wal*mart has the Green Machine."

Like I should know what the Green machine is...

I said, "what!"

"Wal*Mart has the Green Machine." Again as if I didn't hear him the first time.

I repeated, "what is the Green machine."

"It is this really cool big wheel that I had when I was a kid, only this one is new and improved. You peddle as fast as you can and then you have these two sticks that steer the back tires like a tank. You push one stick forward and pull the other back, which steers the back end and causes the "Machine" to slide around. It is so cool, and now they have a rubber tires so they don't crack like the old plastic tires did. Brent found it online at Wal*Mart and sent me a link."

At this point I thought he was going to suggest that we get it for Jack Jack who's Birthday is coming up, but NO! Brian, as happy as a little boy could be said to me, "My birthday is coming up." I found that so funny!

The Huffy® Green Machine showcases a sleek and stable, low-profile design with a strong steel construction for a fast and fun ride. It offers dual-joysitck, rear-wheel steering for advanced riders (which Brian said he is) and a 20-in rubber front tire for traction. A front-wheel hand brake offers sure stopping power and the maximum seat adjustability is designed to fit the kid in all of us.

Brian, I and the kids all went down to Brent and Jody's today for dinner. Brian and Brent went to go get Brian a new cell phone and Brian mentioned to Brent, "you know that if we go to Wal*Mart we will have to race them around the toy department."

This is the Green Machine H20, with a water tank but only a 16" wheel. Brian is so excited, but he did mention the weight limit is 180 lbs, he would have to go on a serious diet. I told him that I think other factors, like say height, might play into it not working for him.
