Political Ellipticals

The other night in the car...

Johan:  "Mama, why do we never get Dominos Pizza?"

Me:  "Because it's gross and because they donate their profits to organizations that don't think women can or should make their own decisions about their bodies.  They want to control what women do with their bodies and that is not our values."

Johan: "ok."

Fast forward to an hour later as I chugged away on the elliptical.  I put my hands on the levers to check my heart rate and momentarily removed them from the moving handles.

Johan:  "Mama, put your arms back so they're moving!"

Me: (panting and sweaty):  "Honey, please don't tell me what to do!  I'm just checking my heart rate!"

Johan:  "I'm not *trying* to be like Dominos!  I'm sorry!"

Me:  "I love you so much."
