Wrestling and Resting

On the way home today Jack was asking me a lot about American Football. He had overheard Charles and I commenting on how it was so hard on one's body. He asked if I thought it was okay for him to play it in the yard with his friends.

I quickly clarified and told him that I thought that was absolutely fine. It is just the intense hitting as you get to higher levels that can be so hard on you. He seemed satisfied with that answer.

He then followed it up with the question of what other sports were hard on your body?

I thought for a second and said, 'well I guess wrestling is kind of hard on your body.'

Fast Forward a Few Nights  

I was in our bedroom folding clothes when I heard noise that I just wanted to ignore, but my motherly instincts told me I should go check to make sure someone was not about to get hurt.

I walked into Jack and Theo's room to find them both as calm as possible lying on their bunk beds.

I asked them what they were doing and they said that they were resting. I looked a little confused, and Jack followed up with, 'Well, we were wrestling for a little bit, and we so worn out now. I mean seriously. We only wrestled for about one minute Mom, but our whole body aches now. It really does. We are so sore.'

Too funny!
