Matt on a Motorcycle?

So there's about only two things that motivate Matt to do something out of his comfort zone, (which, any of you who know Matt, know that he seriously does the same thing everyday, and hates trying something new) and those are: Craig, and Indiana Jones. All we had to do growing up was relate something to Indiana Jones and Matt would do it... So tonight when my parents were visiting Craig asked Matt if he wanted to go for a ride on his new bike and Matt sort of reluctantly said okay, as long as he could wear a helmet. So they went for a ride around the block a few times and when they got back Craig told Matt that he was just like Indiana Jones now, boy that's all it took. So Craig takes me for a ride around the neighborhood and when we get back, Matt asks Craig if he can go again! What!?! Okay, so he takes him again and when they get back my dad goes to help him off and asks if he's ready to get down, and Matt goes "Um, I think I want to go again." Okay, did heck freeze over? Anyway, when they finally got back from their 3rd ride Matt gets off and tells my dad that he wants to get a motorcycle. So my dad says "You want me to buy you a motorcycle?" To which Matt replies: "Pleeeaaaase!" Wow, who knew...

I LOVE that story! So, do you think your Dad will give in? Good excuse for Uncle Mark to buy a motorcycle I think! (:

That is soooo awesome. When mom told me that Matt went on a moder cycle ride, I thought "wow, Craig has got a gift."

Craig must be Matt's favorite person! That says alot about Craig, way to go! Has MAtt asked when he's going to go down and visit again?
