Just pretending

I wanted to get some exercise Saturday afternoon, so I went for a run around my neighborhood ... maybe 4.5-5 miles or so. My son Daniel (age 5) was taking a nap when I left. After my run and shower, I went to the living room and was resting in a rocking chair. Daniel had gotten up from his nap and wanted to talk to me, and he wondered why I was so tired. I told him it was because I had just worked out.

He asked, "Did you go to the gym to exercise?" I said, "No, I just went for a run around our neighborhood." He replied, "So you were just pretending to exercise?"
