Today I challenged Parker to a 100 yard dash. The entire family placed their bets on dad. And I was pretty confident. When I was in the seventh grade I was part of a record-setting 4 X 100 meter relay team at Madison Junior High. I know you're laughing at me right now. A Junior High record? Well, we held that record for at least 15 years. Might still hold the record. I'm not sure. Now who's laughing! Back to my story. So I challenged Parker. And I'm still in shock. I gave the race every ounce of energy I had and my son beat me for the first time. Can't believe it. Either he's getting fast or I'm getting slow. Or maybe both? I'll keep you updated on the rematch challenge that has already been issued.
