My kids make fun of me

I was looking through my FitTV guide this morning, searching for what exercise I was going to pursue today. At 12:30 there was a workout for thighs, hips, and buttock. Hooray!!! My touble areas, I was going to try it out. The only thing was, it was Gilad's Total Workout. He is really fast and I can hardly keep up with him, but I was set to do my best. So about 11:30 I prepared lunch for the kids and myself. Aliya was asking what workout I was going to do today, all grown up like. I told her it was no big deal and reminded her that I needed her to play with Wyatt while I did my thing. So here is the rest of the conversation:

Aliya: "Please tell me, I want to know."

Me: "Alright, it's Gilad's Total Workout."

Aliya: "Oh, I totally did Gilad's Body Sculpting last night!"

Me: "Oh, really?"

Aliya: "Yep, I really think that I can feel my abs." (touching her rib cage)

Me: " Really?"

Aliya: "Where are your abs anyway?"

Me: "Around your tummy"

Aliya: "What are these bones here?" (touching her ribs again)

Me: "That's your rib cage."

Aliya: "Oh...do you think I look skinnier?"

Give me a break!! She is too big for own good!!! Why can't she just be a kid instead of trying to be soooo grown up? So anyway after that conversation, I cleaned up the dishes, picked up the living room, and prepared myself for a serious butt kicking. After moving the coffee table out of the way I tuned into Gilad. He started off with thighs and buttock. I kept up as best as I could, but faintly I could hear giggles and snickers. I ignored it and continued, mildly perspiring. I made it through the first 10 minutes with a bit more confidence. Back from commercial we quickly went into aerobics, surprisingly I did well. However, the giggles turned to mild laughter. What the heck were they laughing at? After the final break, my crevices were sweating profusely, but my hopes were still high. Moving into abs and inner thighs I soon realized that my girls were laughing at me!! I came to terms that I had no idea what I was doing, I looked like a fish flopping on a pier. No matter how ridiculous I looked and no matter how hard my girls laughed I was going to finish that stupid workout. Finally, I was done, sweat circles all over my clothing. I did discover that during the jumping jacks portion, evertime I jumped I pee'd a little. I swear, I'm not 80 for cryin' out loud! After changing my clothes and unmentionables my girls came clean. They told me I looked funny breathing heavy and jumping. So mean!!!
