A Tricycle Conqueror called Trouble


Ben is a kid who was staying at the same campground as us over the holidays.
Ben is the second youngest in a family of 8. He is 2 years old.
The first time I heard of Ben was when his mother was yelling his name.
Infact she did this quite often in the days that they were camping near us all.
Ben did not look for trouble. He just was.
The first time I saw Ben was with his right arm in cast, pushing his tricycle to the highest point on a very steep hill. Once satisfied he was at the most dangerous point, he launched himself at full speed straight down it on his precarious wheels with his hands above his head, roaring at the top of his little lungs.

He was incredibly stoked with himself.

And I thought to myself with grin, Ben will be one of those people that conquers the world.
