This is NO April Fool's joke. It should be...but it isn't. Over the weekend Aya, Jack and I went to the park at our house. No one was there except for the three of us.
Jack and I like to race from one end of the park to the other. We had a race and the first one to tag Aya at the other end was the winner.
Jack and I took off running and as we neared Aya, Jack started to lose his balance, leaning more and more forward until SPLAT...he takes a header into the sand. He was okay, but after I did my winner-winner dance, Jack claimed that I pushed him down. (I did not...thought about it...but didn't push him).
Jack then tells Aya and I to race each other and tag him.
Aya says okay and then Aya and I walk to the other end of the park. Keep in mind the entire length of our park is about the width of 10 cars so not long at all.
As Aya and I are walking to the other end this is our conversation:
Miles: Are you sure you want to run?
Aya: Sure
Miles: You aren't going to fall are you?
Aya: Nnnn-oooo.
Miles: Are you sure?
Aya: It isn't far at all.
Miles: Yeah, so are you sure?
Aya: No I will be okay.
Ready, Set, Go!! And we are off...
I was kinda jogging and then I see Aya really determined to win...so I sped up a little and from the corner of my eye I see Aya start to lean forward....then more forward...then SPLAT!
The EXACT same spot...the exact same position...Aya crashed in the sand!!! You would think and adult would put there hands out to break their fall but nope...Aya's hands are pinned into her body and she has a mouthful of sand!!
I KID YOU NOT!!
The sad part is Jack runs over and the first thing he says is, "You pushed Mommy down!! You tackled her in the sand!"
Grrr...what the heck is wrong with this boy?? Then it all flashed in front of my eyes.
Some kids are the first ones picked....some kids play the bare minimum minutes. Well, it flashed in front of me that Jack would be the last one picked in sports and I could just picture him running over after the game...not happy or sad if his team wins or loses...but what kind of refreshments are being served after the game!!
Jack and Aya are peas in a pod!
P.S - Both Jack and Aya were okay from there tumble. I on the other hand was a bit saddened because I realized Jack really did inherit Aya's athletic prowess.

hahahaha!! where do kids get these things? "you pushed me!" that sounds like something you'd say...you know, like at cards, "YOU CHEATED!"
umm. you did cheat. you didn't shuffle, you didn't let me cut the desk and you hardly explained the rules.
fine. find 3 other people and let's rematch...although I totally don't remember how to play anymore.
