I can go REALLY fast

[Narrated by dad, using Z's "voice"]

In our subdivision the speed limit is 20 MPH. On on main road it is 30 MPH. On the other mainroad it is 45 MPH. When we go south, it changes to 25MPH. I think it is because the road is windy and narrow. I know most of the speed limits near my house.

I love driving my car. Daddy removed the safety setting. Now, I can go really fast now. Daddy thinks it now goes at 5 MPH.

Its a swamp

[Narrated by dad, using Z's "voice"]

Our house (and thirty others) are on a little pond. So, when we went to Toys'R us to buy my "monthly toy", daddy said he was also going to buy a radio-controlled boat.

Daddy put it in the pond and moved the lever on the remote. It started fast, but began to slow down. Daddy turned it around. It went slower and slower. Then it stopped. It was still too far to reach. Daddy didn't like my idea. "No!" he said, "don't wade in there. I'll try another way."

Mom: "You're going to throw electric cable in the lake!"
Z: "We don't have a fishing rod".

The first few times, the cable missed the boat and came up with lots of green stuff -- looked like sea-weed. Daddy said that's why the boat must have slowed and stopped -- there must be weeds around the propeller. Yes, it was weeds.

Dad: "We live on a swamp".
Z: "That's funny".
Mom didn't think so!
