The Kids Are Nice

He was feeling
really good about
himself having
just finished
a relatively
pain-free jog
on trails near
home, so he
thought he would
ask his wife to
snap a couple of
shots of him
in his jogging
duds sitting
behind the pond,
grilling on the
pig shaped
hibachi, just like
the photo that
appears on
the “About”
page of his blog
from only four
years ago. He
looked at the
photos, couldn’t
believe his hair
was white
and the rest
quite the sight,
so, he sent a
couple of the
photos to his
kids, trashed
the rest
and waited for
them to say,
the obligatory,
“You look great,
dad. Perhaps, the
best ever.” The
kids are nice.
