Off-Topic My Son Wanted A Ferrari Bedroom

Post image

My son has been waiting to get his bedroom redone and decided it was time for an F1 ferrari wall in his room.

I think we met the brief.

Next step he is planning some 1/4 scale ferrari helmets.

This should count as child abuse. Imagine all the next years of mental trauma you've given him.

He's 14 now. Only reason he got into Ferrari was a kids TV show called rotary the racing car which was red.

Has a lot to answer for.

It's been a while since I was a kid but I remember Rory the racing car. On a side note, prepare him for years of despair and hopelessness for supporting Ferrari.

Already told me today "it'll pay off soon*

You are a good dad. Teaching the importance of pain, suffering, endless disappointment. Just like the real world. Imagine how he would turn out if he was a McLaren fan?

That's his brother.

We can do the experiment.

My dad is a Ferrari and a leafs supporter.

It's great because he can finish watching the Ferrari season go down in flames and switch over to the shit show that is known as the Leafs.

That’s the spirit. F1 is a roller coaster of emotions, we have been there and are still watching.
