04.18.08 Run, Kids! Run!

Yesterday, walking down Sheffield, I noticed I woman jogging with her two daughters. What made this painful to watch was that her daughters were around 8 and 6 years old.

Lady! 8 and 6 year olds don't want to jog! Maybe they'll play tag, or at best, soccer, but I think jogging (the act of simply running for running sake) is hard enough to convince an adult to do, let alone a small child!

Why do parents make this children do such weird stuff, people? All I'm saying is, I see some steep therapist bills in these children's futures.

I'll see your two therapy bills and up you two eating disorders!

This reminds me of a kid I babysat for. I asked her if she would like another cookie because she was being so good and I thought she deserved it for helping me clean up the dinner dishes. She looked at me horrified and said "I DO NOT! I don't want to get FAT."

I was taken aback that someone so young (I think she was like... 7) would say anything like that.
