When it comes to children and young people, I basically want nothing to do with them. They’re weak, useless, and they walk very slowly. It annoys me. I’ve talked about ways to toughen them up a bit, and only a few of you actually listened. So today I’ve got another idea, one that might just be a bit more palatable for you wussbag parents in the audience. What I’m proposing… is a simple race.
Most of us had Barbie Jeeps, or the male equivalent – whatever they’re called – when we were children. You know, the little plastic car replica that kids could wheel around the neighbor ineptly? Yeah, that one. I thought they were pretty stupid. That is, until I saw the Extreme Barbie Jeep Racing by Busted Knuckle Films.
A Little Jeep Race Never Hurt Anyone…
What children need is a little more competition in their lives. When I was growing up, there were winners and losers. For sports day we would race, and the first 3 people would win ribbons, and the other suckers would get NOTHING. Why? Because they lost. Somewhere along the line we’ve decided to tell our children that they’re all equal, when clearly they aren’t. Some of them are just crappier than others.
So on that note, I suggest that parents enroll their kids in a race like this…
There can be only one!!! I mean… don’t get me wrong, all (read: some) of the children would probably survive such a race, but there can be only one true winner. Even for the losers that survive, though… they’ll probably feel better about themselves, because at least they didn’t die. They were tough enough to survive, just not to win.
Every scrape and fall makes these competitors stronger, so just imagine how tough your children will be if you start them at a young age. They’ll be very, very strong… or dead, because they were too weak to be awesome.
More Racing!
It’s clear that my opinion is correct, so I’m just going to assume that you feel the same way as I do, and suggest that you check out the Busted Knuckle Website for more information on their videos, and the awesome races they run each year. Who knows, you may even come up with more parenting ideas that I haven’t covered.
