I Feigned a Slight Injury to Avoid a Task...

So I was at the park with my kids today, trying to get them through their playground workout routine. We were near the end when I noticed that the small rock we use for balance exercises had somehow ended up under the slide. And you know how it goes...the kid in charge of fetching it refused because he's convinced his baby sister will accidentally throw it into space or something. So here I am, watching them play and thinking about having to pick up this rock myself when I suddenly have a tiny slip on some loose dirt near our feet. It wasn't even enough to really hurt me...but I'm such an idiot for pretending it was. Now, my leg is 'sprained' according to me, but really, it's just resting because I wanted out of the workout and back home with Netflix. My kids are probably going to think I'm a fraud forever now. But you know what? It’s funny how a little white lie can make your day feel so much better, even if you're guilty about it...
