Good to hear she is okay and the damage was just minor. I am willing to say she felt worst and it is great to hear you took care of her .

Found my grand daughter at seven years siting on top of my Ultra in the garage. I yelled so loud the seat needed cleaning after I pulled her off of it. I don't think she will ever sit on a bike unassisted again.

That's the winner right there. She'll remember that long after the bike is gone.

I ran out front and she was on the ground and the bike was on the right side. She was ok with not a scrape. The bike on the other hand, snapped front brake lever, bent right side mirror, big gouge in the front fender, bent rear brake arm and scraped the crap out of the right saddle bag.
Poor kid was so upset saying she was the worst daughter ever. I was mad mind you, but it was heartbreaking seeing how upset she was. Limped the bike home and after 90 minutes or so I straightened the bent items, touched up the fender and got the saddlebag looking ok. Ran back over to their house and gave her her ride. She was so happy and it made my day!
Well Did You learn a lesson?? Next time Hurry your A$$ up, nothing worse than telling a kid your going to take them for a ride and then they have to stand around WAITING for You!! lol

That's what being a parent is all about, and at the end here you are a good dad. Good for you!

They should make a law that you have to ware a helmet to watch a big screen tv, and not to drink anything with sugar at the same time.

He's a cop. So in context I would assume her new boyfriend is one too.

The important thing is that she is okay. You handled that great.
