My kids (2.5 boys), ride their trikes down the driveway (a small, safe

Any thoughts about what I could use to prolong the life of the shed
door? I checked out the local HD, and didn't see anything that I
thought I could use as a safe bumper.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this?

And folks wonder why this generation of kids have little respect for
property, no discipline, and parents who are total oblivions.

BTW: how do you get 2.5 boys? Somebody do a solomon on one of them?
Or is one of them a hermaphrodite? A bit queer? Mother wanted a girl and
dresses one them up as one?

I dropped a few characters there - they are 2.5 years old - twin
boys. And just learning to get around on the big wheels... they are
too young to punish for "riding down the hill." WHile I do appreciate
the parenting advice, I was just looking for something to protect the
shed until they have better motor skills and can be expected to stop
and ride in control.

Unlike the others who do not have kids, or shouldn't have any, I will
say that once they get older and leave you, the dents in the door will
bring a tear and a remembrance of a better time. My girls drove golf
carts into fences and made tracks in my lawn, and now that I look upon
the small, insignificant things, I wish that I could go back and relive
those memories.
