Future Olympian

Tonight I got home from work and Amber was snoozing before work, so Gavin was quasi-babysitting himself. He loves the interactive bike he got for Christmas and had it plugged into the TV. He was pedaling away when I walked in the door and the screen was zooming along as if he were riding down a road. I noticed his hands weren't on the handlebars, but didn't think much of it.

I put down my bag and walked up behind him and asked, "what ya up to, bud?"

He hadn't realized I was home until that instant, but his answer was this beautifully honest, guilt free, self confident statement of fact. As he swung around and flashed a cheesy grin he announced, "I'm riding my bike with Cheetos."

He saw nothing odd about exercising with a bag of Cheetos in your hands and I'm glad. The concept of irony can wait.

...Heck, Elanis Morisett is over 40 and she still doesn't get it.
