he also seems like he's trying too hard. granted, i don't know the kid & will likely never meet him. but the fact that he's 8 & stickered up like a billboard, & that (to my mind) he seemed so focused...more intent on "ripping" than just having fun. sad.
semi-old fart grumpyness aside, i sincerely miss being a grom when every day was at least chest high or better...
