Letters From Tim

Tim sent me a copy of the note attached below. It happens to be from the daughter of one of our closest friends. I love the sheer honesty and sweetness of children.

As I was lacing my sneakers for a run the other day, Gage asked me (as always) if I would be returning. I assured him I would be back in 45 minutes. He asked me why I was running anyway. I told him it was healthy to exercise and besides that I need to reduce my butt size. He then asked me if he could see it. So I turned around and cocked my hip for his interest. He said to me, “Looks fine to me.” I thanked him but then hit the road. What does a three-year old know anyway?

When I returned, he was excited to see me and my rear. He asked me to turn around again. I did so thinking I might get another nice compliment to hang on to. Honest Abe looked straight at me and said, “You might want to go do that again!” Now that is funny.
