Well in my defense I was only 4 and not nearly as smart as Milo. It was a hot August day and we lived in a trailer park in Burbank California. Anciently trailer houses didn't have bathrooms so when the need arose to go to the bathroom you had to go to a community public restroom built in the middle of the trailer park. So this hot summer day a friend and I jumped up onto the "Good Humor" truck's running board to ride for awhile (this was against the rules) but we didn't think about rules. "Good Humor" trucks didn't go very fast and after a few minutes we decided to jump off. My friend jumped first and had no problem. Then I jumped, but as luck would have it, just as I jumped the truck happened to drive next to the public bathroom. I was looking back towards my friend and didn't notice how close the truck was to the building. So when I jumped, I jumped right into the building and bounced backwards under the truck. It all happened so fast that the truck driver couldn't stop and the truck ran over my legs. It didn't break anything but hurt me enough that I couldn't walk for a couple of days. It wasn't the smartest or dumbest thing I have ever done but it has been a great excuse for my "Good Humor!
Milo says that he is only 4 and he has never been run over.
