My daughter did something similar when she was about 5 or 6. My daughter always used to ask me why I wore a jacket and helmet when riding in the summer and other rider wore T-shirts, shorts, etc. In my usual never-at-a-loss-for-words way, I would reply,"Because they are stupid." Well...we were waiting outside a local and popular BBQ joint in the summer, waiting for our table when a Harley rider and his squeeze rode up with no helmets or jackets. They're getting off their bike right in front of us and my daughter says "They're stupid aren't they dad?" Yep, kids say the darndest things. Gino
