Child abuse

I was in the bathroom last night when I heard my front door open and then slam shut. Bud had just called and said he’d be over in a half hour so I had no idea who might just walk in like that. I washed my hands and peeked around the corner just to see and hear Jackson yell “Shew! You wore me out!”

When I got home from work I changed for a run but before I left Jackson told me to hold on, he had something to ask his mother. I waited in the driveway to see what was up and he came trotting out to inform me that “I’m going with you”. Wha? When I told him he couldn’t he said “uh huh, yes I can, I asked my mom and she said I could.” We ran. Or, I ran and he stopped after the first block, looking at me expectantly. “Er, keep going,” I said. Long story short, we made it through the run (walk) but I, “wore him out”. And he is “never running with you again.”
