The Shred Challenge: Day 1

So every morning I plug in the straight iron and fix my kids' crazy hair. We always have interesting discussions during the styling, usually involving what's going to happen that day at school, but today my son noticed that instead of my usual attire of pajamas I had my workout clothes on. He asked, "Why are you dressed like that?"

I replied, "I'm starting the Shred again today. I'm scared."

He looked confused so I continued, "I'm scared because I'm so out of shape, and I know it's going to be hard."

He still looked confused so I continued, "It's kind of like when you start a new sport. It's that kind of scared."

He replied, "I don't get scared when I start a new sport."

I questioned, "You don't?"

He finished wisely, "No. I mean it's only hard at the beginning. Mostly it's just fun. Especially when I do well."

And there it is, a ten year old wiser than his mother.

Though he still can't do his own hair.
