I'm old and injured

Yesterday afternoon, my son wanted to race me. He has been wanting to do this for some time. I finally gave him the opportunity yesterday. I gave him a head start and when the began, I thought I was going to explode off the line and catch him easily. Instead, it felt like I had a rope with a parachute plus a 45 lb. weight tied around my waist. I was surprised at how slow I felt I was going. On top of that, a few steps into the sprint, I felt a tug in my groin and had to pull up with a pulled groin. PATHETIC!!!

I am slow and I got hurt. It's a sad realization to the fact that I am getting older. I cried myself to sleep last night and woke up with red puffy eyes.

The truth is that you had the head start and your son was passing you, so you "conveniently" pulled up. Then you blamed the injury rather than take the humiliating loss. It's OK, you can admit it.

Actually, the truth is that I had the head start and he beat me but then I claimed he cheated. We ended up getting into a big argument over it. I challenged him to a fight and he agreed and then immediately kicked me as hard as he could right in the nuts. I started crying and he walked home. That is how I injured myself. OH THE HUMANITY!!!

Good one. I smiled when you told me the original story this morning. I chuckled when I wrote what I wrote.

But now I am actually laughing about the image of your boy kicking your butt in a race and then kicking you in your nuts for your insolence.

I laughed while reading your pathetic old man story, then I pictured your son dropping down into a splits position and punching you in the rocks Jean Claude Van Damme style from Bloodsport.

Now I'm laughing again.

Nice clip from Bloodsport. Is that music from the original film? Hilarious!
