You should wear a helmet

Every now and then when I’m walking down my street I’ll giggle to myself because of something Jack said to Marc a few weeks ago. We were walking down our street and Marc turned back to tell me something. When he turned around there was a tree branch in his face. No biggie, Marc is super tall and the tree branches all hang really low on our street. It’s the kind of thing that normally you wouldn’t even acknowledge but Jack did. In all seriousness he looked up at his father and said, “You should wear a helmet.” Marc and I thought that this was hilarious. Jack failed to see what was so funny about this suggestion. So sometimes when I’m walking down the street I picture Marc wearing a helmet, as though mentally challenged, going for a stroll and it makes me laugh. Out loud.
