Mom comes home, "So, how did it go? Did you guys go running?" I remain quiet, as I always do, hidden in the computer room doing the usual useless things. "Yes" answers Dad, "It was so tiring." Mom scoffs, "Well, count how old you'll be turning this year, then count hers!" Dad laughs "I thought I could outrun her too." As I sat listening, it occurred to me again, how scary aging and time really is.
