Our seven-year-old son was thrilled when we took him to Disney World for the first time, and he headed straight for Space Mountain.
I worried that the roller coaster would be too scary for him, but he insisted.
To his delight, we rode it twice.
The next year we returned to the Magic Kingdom, and my son, now eight, again dragged me to Space Mountain.
As we stood in line, though, I could see him soberly studying the signs that warn about the ride's speed.
"Dad," he said, "I don't think I want to go."
I asked him why he would be nervous when he had enjoyed himself last time.
He replied, "This year, I can read these signs."
