Mommy Olympics

Ellie asked me why I'm not in the Olympics.

I tried to decide what to tell her in my answer: I'm just not good enough; I'm not willing to put in that kind of work; God hasn't gifted me in those areas; I'm too old to pick up that kind of training...

She solved the problem herself: "Because they don't have a Mommy Olympics?"

Yep. That's it. (I won't tell her about Dana Torres, Lisa Leslie, Paula Radcliffe, etc.)

Don't you love when you can wait long enough for them to come up with a good enough answer by themselves ;) I think it's a great answer! ;)
