Thirty, Maybe?

After learning of his younger brother’s accident. 

“WTF, Ethan?!  How fast were you going?” Justin demanded from across the kitchen. 

“Thirty, maybe,” Ethan said, shrugging his shoulders. 

“Holy sh**, that’s a school zone!  What were you thinking?”

My wife and I, who were watching with great interest, exchanged surprised glances.  Justin, who was himself a teenager, was upset with Ethan for speeding in a school zone?  Something was up.  But, before Ethan could draw breath...

“You weren’t going 30!” Justin exclaimed.  “The only person that’s allowed to go 30 in a school zone is me!”

Ah, there it is. 

You probably can't tell, but the car is only resting on two wheels.
