The walkers

JJ comes out of school with an insane amount of energy, excessive even for him. He is intense, and loud, and bouncy. So bouncy.

His teacher says he is perfectly behaved in class, so I assume that he is just letting it all out once he is with me. Lucky me. And I have a wee bit of a problem with sneaking treats when the kids aren't looking. So whenever the weather is decent, we've been walking the mile home from school.

Despite this excessive amount of energy, JJ spends the entire walk whining that he's toooooooo tiiiiiiiiirrrrired. It kind of drives me crazy too, but the sunshine makes me happy, so it all evens out.

Today was a beautiful, warm day. A walking day.

We were walking draaaaaagggging along, with grumpy whines ringing in my ears, when I had a brilliant idea. It happens sometimes.

Me: Hey kids! Why don't you pretend you are brother and sister and you are walking home from school?!

Kids: Yeah!!!

...And off they go running, kind of like this, except this was two years ago...


... And they happily pretend to walk home, all the way home.

Well, ok then. The end.
