Yesterday, I took my kids to the dance studio. My daughter, of course, had the lessons. My son had to come along for the ride. And let me tell you, he absolutely hates sitting around! So what did he do? He went outside on the parking lot and started doing push-ups and sit ups.
"Bubba, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Exercising."
I guess that was pretty obvious. "Okay. Why are you exercising on the hard asphalt?"
"I'm trying to get everybody else to come out and exercise with me."
I looked at the kid. "Bubba, nobody is going to want to come out and do sit ups and push-ups in the middle of a parking lot!"
I guess I was wrong. Two seconds later, another little boy and his dad came out. The boy got on the ground next to Bubba and started doing push-ups.
The dad and I just looked at each other and shook our heads.
"Mama, you should do push-ups and sit ups, too!"
"No thank you," I said.
My boy looked at his new friend and said. "My Mama is a wimp!"
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. I am now officially a wimp!
Get yourself some gloves and start doing those push ups.
ReplyDeleteYes, sir!
DeleteWonderful, whatever will they do and say next?
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Stay tuned to find out!
DeleteI wouldn't do it either. I guess I'm a wimp, too!
ReplyDeleteLet's form a wimp club!
DeleteYou tell that child that you gave birth to him and his sister. Women are not wimps.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
That's right! And I did it without pain medication!
DeleteMe, too. Here's to natural childbirth!
Delete*LOL* The boy is hilarious. And quite the trend setter!
ReplyDeleteIt must be his charismatic personality. People follow him everywhere!
DeleteLol! Bubba certainly know how to get everyone doing what he wants!
ReplyDeleteNas
It's amazing how he does it!
DeleteHahaha! I cannot wait until Bubba is old enough to have his own blog! He is such a character. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I can only imagine what that would be like!
DeleteHa - cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteHe is certainly a funny guy!
DeleteJa, Bubba only vants to...PUMP YOU UP!
ReplyDeleteHe's so funny. I would never be bored around him.
ReplyDeleteYes, life around my boy is certainly interesting!
DeleteLOL! I could never stand doing push-ups--I'd rather be bored to death, even as a kid. Go Bubba for exercising out of his own free will! :)
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know what inspired him to do sit ups and push-ups. I would've personally run laps around the lot.
DeleteI'm laughing out loud here after reading this post. I can imagine Bubba being in a boot camp style fitness session leading the others. Not a fan of push ups either.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's where he got this idea - from his Daddy Navy drill sergeant!
DeleteMaybe I should go out to the parking lot and start doing push-ups and situps. No one ever wants to exercise with me, so maybe that's the answer!
ReplyDeleteHa! Let me know if you get some company doing that!
DeleteI don't have anything to purchase (yet), but if you'd like to hear me play, you can visit my website, www.sherryellis.org, and click on the videos.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are definitely a breath of sunshine!
A positive attitude serves Bubba well! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to join the wimp club! I can't do push-ups. I'd never get back up off the floor. : 0
