Go Faster!

Last year for Mother's Day James bought me a bike and a trailer that I can pull Aaron in. Well, the trailer seats two, so yesterday we invited Aaron's friend Catherine to go for a ride with us. Catherine lives on the next street over from us, and her street has a really long hill. I usually don't ride down the hill when I have an extra passenger in the trailer, but yesterday for some crazy reason, I let the kids talk me into it! So, there I was, huffing and puffing and using every once of strength I had to pull their 60 pounds of combined weight back up the hill, and Catherine starts yelling "Go faster, Mawca! Go faster!" Soon, Aaron takes up the chant! "Go faster, Mommy! Go faster!" I yelled back at them, "Faster?! I am lucky to be going FORWARD!" They continued to encourage me to go faster all the way up the hill. While they were disappointed in my speed, I was just happy I didn't have a heart attack!
