The Roller Coaster: A Rite of Passage

by Steve Odenthal

Years have passed. Literally, six years have passed for the young boy who is finally of sufficient height to ride. And what a ride it will be. This intrepid father and son will form a bond that forever will live in the annals of family lore! The roller coaster, aptly named "Old Rickety" represents a Rite of Passage and the boy's entrance into all that is FUN. The question is will he survive the trip with his father -- of course, with this particular father, any trip has an extra degree or two of danger.
Make no mistake, the boy's father means well. He knows exactly how excited his young son is about this challenge and wants only the best result. Its just that sometimes, or more accurately - most times, things don't go as planned. Not for this man. And certainly not for his long-suffering family.
Enjoy the ride. And keep your arms inside the car at all times!
