The Co-pilot


One little seat, so many meanings:


  • Happy kid
  • Makes you too cool to smile for your mom's camera opp.
  • On-job training
  • Easiest babysitting gig in the world for a Grandpa.
  • Your parents can be out doing other things, like working.  Or drinking.
  • Early foreman experience, bossing the driver around.
  • High entertainment factor
  • Less wear and tear on shoes, which are likely 2nd hand and already have preliminary wear and tear.
  • Better supervision of the Grandpa.
  • Satisfies necessary outdoor-time quota without getting dirty.  
  • Guaranteed crying when it's over.

  3. Of all the uses, I feel that supervising Grandpa is the most important. It's a universal job.
