New Bikes...

Published Tuesday, December 25, 2007 by Jim Cromwell.

Daddy put the new Christmas bikes outside of the barn doors with the curtains closed so that he could get the kids to pull the curtains and see the bikes all shiny and new and exciting. However there was limited if any response.
Daddy: "What do you see out there?"
Holly: "Cars."
