96. Deja Vue

This is a photo of Christina, at Six Flags Magic Mountain, yesterday. She wanted to go on the Bumper Cars and when she found out that she was tall enough to drive one by herself, she refused to let Nicholas help her. I tried to change her mind. I explained to her that it might be better to have Nicholas in the car with her to help if she got in trouble... But she wouldn't hear it.
This photo was taken before the cars were started. It wasn't long after that her smile changed to a frown and finally to tears; she couldn't turn the steering wheel and therefore was stuck in the same spot the whole time. She blamed the steering wheel... But I know it was simply because she wasn't strong enough to turn it all the way to get out of the tight spot she was in. Nicholas tried to help her as much as he could from his car, but it was no use. When the ride was finally over, she was crying.
It was odd to watch her sitting there in the car trying as hard as she could to make it move! I seem to remember not long ago, Nicholas and then, Anthony being in the same position! And both of them also ended up crying the first time they tried to ride the Bumper Cars by themselves! Is this what happens to everyone who is barely tall enough to ride on their own?  I guess it's a lesson she had to learn, just like her two brothers. Hopefully, next time, she'll have better luck!
