Building a Trike: An epic family story

One bright and sunny May day, a young boy named Finn was out with his father. They generally start the day with a 10 or 15-mile jog just to get the blood flowing. However, this was not an ordinary day-it was particularly special. There was a new boy at home and Finn was going to be a big brother for the first time. Finn wore his special shirt to let everyone know how special the day was.


When they got back home they discovered not only a little brother, but a new tricycle! It turns out that each sibling you get brings a fun gift to apologize for the lost parental attention. Finn, don't get any crazy ideas...


So Finn and his papa pulled out the directions and uncharacteristically his father read them. Finn meanwhile scrambled the parts and hid screws to make the assembly more of a challenge than it should have been.


Finn is a really useful boy. He helps his papa build things including this new trike. Finn used his shiny pliers with a red rubber handle to loosen the bolts that papa tightened and sometimes even helped with the screw that papa was working on at that moment.


The bike was slowly taking shape and only the last two wheels needed to be put on the frame. His papa said "Please hand me the wheels so I can finish this for you".

Finn laughed and waved the wheel while saying "This wheel?"

"Yes Finn."

Finn just laughed and waved the wheel in the air.


The wheels made it onto the trike eventually. Though he did need them anymore, Finn decided to hold on to the pliers for the rest of the day as he peddled off into the distance.


The whole time the bike was being built, Liam did what Liam does best: sleep.
