A buzzkill, in effect

It never fails. I plan everything - "Kevin, you may take 2 and only 2 books"; "Find a small toy to take along"; "Do you need a drink of water?" Then I set off on our bike adventure and 2 minutes into my warm-up or just over the crest of a fast downhill or just as I downshift to cruise my way up a slope, I hear it.



"Please open my fruit snacks, Mama." "I need water, Mama." "I dropped my Cheerios, Mama."
