Transcript:
Katy: Dad, I need a new bike. Adam: Nonsense. We'll just raise the seat. Katy: It's as high as it will go. I can barely reach the handlebars. Adam: That's how the professionals do it. Why don't you grab one of Clayton's old bikes? Katy: Those are all broken and rusty. Adam: Well, we can build a new one from the old pieces. Katy: I'd rather have a pink one. Adam: Pink? Come on, Katy. Don't be so predictable. Katy: Hey! I like pink... And pink likes me. Adam: Well, I read in one of mommy's fashion magazines that 'rust brown' is the new pink. Katy: ? If I can't have a pink bike, I might slip and tell your buddies that you're reading mommy's fashion magazines. Adam: I'll grab my car keys.

Katy knows what buttons to push even as a youngster, but as DaBoogadie said, “Women of all ages…” For you guys who haven’t got it yet, learn when to surrender and reap the rewards.

I prefer a dark green bike myself.

My niece is about 2, and she loves pink. Her parents didn’t do the whole “pink is for girls”; she just likes it. When she plays w ith cars with her brother, she uses a pink car.

I painted my computer bike pink. It not only looks great, but it is a powerful anti-theft technique. Bikes in this town are stolen, not for transportation, but by teenaged boys who want to show them off to their friends. Need I say more?

Actually, it’s a dangerous for children to ride bikes that are really mis-sized for them. When they seriously grow out of their bike, get a bigger one. Even if you don’t care much for the kid, it’s cheaper than the hospital bills.

Adam, just use the same excuse that I use: I was in the bathroom, and it was the only thing to read.
