personalities

Last night we were driving to Richmond to see grandpa and grandma. Paul decided to pass a car and so he dropped the hammer/floored it. From the back, almost simultaneously, Ben loudly (and sounding like a grown man) yelled "OH YEAH" in excitement and encouragement while Luke exclaimed in a concerned voice, "Dad, don't go too fast!"  Paul and I looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at how that totally sums up the personalities of our two boys.
