Take A Hike, Mom

I am not athletic in the slightest. I’m very overweight from overeating and minimal exercise. So, when I call my mother to tell her I spent the day hiking with friends, she’s skeptical. No matter how many anecdotes or landmarks I tell her about, she just doesn’t accept that I did something so physical for hours.

Me: *Exasperated* “And then I threw up from exertion!”

Mom: “Okay, now I believe you.”

I just laughed.
