Transcript:
Dad: "The trick to balancing is to have a little forward momentum" Calvin: "AAA! No momentum! No momentum!" Dad: "Just pedal slowly. I'm holding the bike, so you won't fall" Calvin: "You'll let go and the bike will launch me into the ionosphere!" Dad: "Trust me, ok?" Calvin: "TRUST you? I hardly KNOW you!" Dad: "I'm your father" Calvin: "What, for six years?! When I'm 40, we'll see how things are going!"

Calvin’s really quick with a retort when he wants to be.

I think Calvin has a good point. Six years, especially the cutest years, are nothing to go by. Wait till the teen years are in full swing and then review their relationship.

I realize the strip wouldn’t be so funny, but why isn’t a boy Calvin’s age using training wheels?

When I was a kid, bikes were just magical – I couldn’t even understand how they moved. For Calvin, it must be something even more warped than his fantastic universe! :)

I think I’m with Calvin on this one — Dad’s track record isn’t that great.

JuyangThe bike balance comes from forward momentum and the life balance from “Do content with your lot”.
