One of the greatest joys of parenting is doing workout videos in front of your children. They yell out little encouragements like, “mom, she’s going faster than you!” and “why’d you stop, it’s still going!”

I was teaching my son to read and he asked me how to spell "momma." Not sure if my wife preferred "mama," I paused and said, "I don't know, I'll ask mom." After that we practiced DOG, CAT, and RUN, and after each word he'd ask if I was sure or if I wanted to check with my wife.

I told my 6yo that I’m 38, and she started crying. When I asked why, she said, “I’m just sad because old people die.” So now I’m both touched because she loves me so much, and depressed because thinks my life expectancy is that of a 17th century colonial farmer.

“Mommy you have little lines around your eyes. Is that because you’re old now?”
