Last night, while waiting a painfully long time for the girls to finish their dinner, Doodle and I had a conversation. It went a little something like this ...
Doodle: (noticing my new purple RoadID) "Why'd you get a purple one? Why'd you want all the colors?" (Yes, I have multiple RoadIDs).
Me: "Because I thought that it was pretty."
Doodle: "I want a purple one too. I want to match you. When are you getting me one?"
Me: "I don't know. Maybe next week."
Doodle: "THAT'S TOO LONG! Get it in ONE WEEK!"
Me: "Doodle, we'll see. Why do you need one?"
Doodle: "To run."
Me: "Well, Daddy has a black one. Do you want a black one to match him or a purple one to match me?"
Doodle: "I want a purple one so I can run really faster than Daddy."
Huh? So apparently, a RoadID is more than just safety gear. It also functions as a turbo-booster.
How cute!
ReplyDeleteI just got my purple one last week! Can't wait to reap the benefits of the turbo-boost! ; )
ReplyDeleteCRYING I'm laughing so hard!!! Hilarious! Reminds me of that video.... "Maybe you should train?" "I have the newtons, with the newtons I will be at the front of the pack". Well, maybe with a purple Road ID I could be at the front of the pack too.
ReplyDeleteClassic! I have a blue one that I love and my oldest son Sam picked out the dog tag style.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I should have gotten the purple for the extra power!
Aw cute. And who knew RoadID could become a fashion statement?
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I really LOLed at this. If it's a turbo booster I'll be wearing like 5 of those at my next race.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm new to your blog. I love it so far. Congrats on all of your accomplishments! I definitely need to pick up a road id bracelet.

Something about them that is really appealing to kids. My boys are asking for them too - but not purple!
ReplyDeleteWell then, I've gotta get one! Thanks for the insight.
ReplyDeleteI like that. Purple=Speed. This will revolutionize my training!
ReplyDeleteI guess I should get a purple one too :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute :) I need a Road ID so bad. I'm thinking purple now :)
ReplyDeleteawesomoe. always wanted one of these [in turbo purple] just can't really warrant it for treadmill use. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute!! If she is right, than I need a purple one too!!!LOL!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I've been meaning to get my girlies each one too. I know they'll love it. Their bdays are coming up. I may get them one as a part of their gifts.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had know that sooner. Hmmm maybe I should get one for my next race! ;)
ReplyDeleteIs the speed color sensitive? I mean is purple the only turbo booster or is say orange fast too? Mine is yellow. How much extra speed are we talking here? I really could have used this knowledge last weekend! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute story! I love the things that kids say! My boys say the funniest things sometimes and I wish I could remember them all and write them in their baby books, but I always forget...:(
ReplyDeletehaha too funny! so apparently mommy runs faster than daddy! lol!
ReplyDeleteVery funny! I want a purple one too!
ReplyDeletePlease...purple turbo boost for me too!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally need the purple one now. Anything that'll get me to run faster :P What are Doodle's thoughts about a pink RoadID?
ReplyDeleteSo, that's the secret? Damn. I'm off to buy one RIGHT.NOW. ;o)
