This morning I chased my daughter up the driveway. She was having her normal "You may walk me to the bus stop, but I am not going to acknowledge you" attitude and had hurried up the driveway well ahead of us. So rather than call to her to slow down, I ran. When I caught up to her, she said that all my walking now had her worried, because I could actually catch her. I also showed her that I can run literal circles around her.
Tonight, I was asked to take dinner into a neighbor's home who had recently had a baby. After the meal was prepared to be delivered, I asked Rick if he would like to join me on the delivery. He gladly agreed to go along. I then asked if he had his car keys. Instead he suggested we walk. How nice it was to walk down the street with my husband on a beautiful evening and be able to have a conversation and not feel out of breath.
Good for you, girl! I must admit, I'd be waving to my daughter like a lunatic if she didn't want me to come along....clearly, you're the better (and healthier!) person!!
ReplyDeleteIt is probably Rick who is the healthier person. He holds me back when I want to run to the bus stop and plant a big smooch on her cheek.
