Last evening Alex informed us that he planned to run recklessly through the neighborhood. As in not running into anything or causing any trouble. I believe that word would be 'wrecklessly'. Often we tell Amanda as she is leaving the house to 'drive recklessly and take risks'. It is because she found our advice to 'drive cautiously and be careful' a tad on the ridiculous side. As if she would do anything but. So when we tell her to 'drive recklessly' she knows we mean 'be careful because we love you tremendously'. Guess maybe we should explain that to Alex before he gets a driver's license.
reck·less
[rek-lis]

1.utterly unconcerned about the consequences of some action; without caution; careless (usually fol. by of): to be reckless of danger.
—Related forms

Questions Alex has that I have no good answer for:
1. Why is monosyllabic such a long word?

Maybe the actual phrase IS "Drive wrecklessly and take risks" have we ever seen it written out?
it would make no sense to tell someone to drive wrecklessly AND take risks all in the same sentence. you are ridiculous abi.
