When a kid’s bike is run over (unless they leave their bike in their driveway) most parents ask if their kid is ok first even if they’re kid is not physically hurt they are likely a little freaked out about what happened and need a hug. Preston’s parents go into a rant about him being irresponsible with his bike despite the fact that Preston was almost hurt.
