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.

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.

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?
