My first toy was a tractor that looked like the one my Dad drove. I learned to drive the tractor when I was so little I couldn't sit on the seat (learned to lean up against it) and push the peddles at the same time. First time I tried putting the thing in gear to go backwards, I went straight through the barn. This farm girl has been off the farm for a long time now, but my life's lessons were learned there.
BTW anyone see THE (ALVIN) STRAIGHT STORY put out by Disney in 1999. I haven't yet, but want to get a copy. Heard it was a great movie.
sure glad I'm not the only kid who drove thru a barn. ;-)
