Kids, if done right, are multiplicative. I run with the kid a lot. Sometimes mommy comes. she doesn't jog as much as I do, but then, she wears size 2 pants no matter what she does. Anyway, running is harder for mommy. So I taught the kid to say go go mommy! And for a month or so we'd get go go mommy! every now and then. But then she decided that cars and motorcycles and trucks and buses and occasionally dumpsters go vroooooom! And then she started working on sentences. I took a breather yesterday going up a hill. It's a massive hill, and the stroller ain't light. So I started walking. Go go Daddy! Go go! Vroooom! I was boring the kid. Walking is much less fun than running. So you know what? I ran when I wouldn't have run because my kid wants to go fast. ___________________________________ "I spend 10 hours a week learning another programming language because the programming language that pays my bills I hate."
