Moral Support

Jane is - reluctantly - learning to ride her bike without using the training wheels.  Her sisters have offered varying levels of support for this endeavor.

Margot:  "Janie, when you can ride a two-wheeler, it will be so great.  You can coast down hills and it's so fun - a little bit like riding a roller coaster!"

Jane: "Really?"

Claire:  "Yes.  It's exactly like riding a roller coaster.  A fast, terrifying roller coaster that you can't control."
