I forgot that I was going to blog about this:
A couple of week-ends ago, I was running with my dog down by the river. i was over on the Clarkston side where some of the levy kind of turns into a road, then back to levy again. It's not really a road for a bunch of traffic, it's more to get from one parking lot to another. Anyhow, as I'm running along, sweating my ass off and coaxing Hannah, I look ahead and see a minivan driving with a dog running beside it. I squint my eyes to get a better look because I can't quite figure out what I'm seeing. As I get closer, yep, it's just what I suspected...someone taking their dog for a run and doing as little as possible for themselves. I don't get it. I'm a little nervous, I can't tell for sure what the demeanor of the dog is and it's not on a leash (that would be because the owner is in the vehicle!). Getting closer...it's an old dog, no threat. I sneak a peak in the minivan as I get up next to it, still running, and see a very large woman driving with her very large pre-teen daughter in the seat next to her. I doubt if my look of disgust was masked. Disgusted because they are heavy? No! Disgusted because the mom is modeling some very self-destructive behavior? Absolutely. What happened to wanting better for your kids? Unbelievable.
That just drives me nuts!! It's so unsafe and unhealthy. People are so crazy.
ReplyDeleteI would be looking in disgust. That is amazing to me that people can be that flippin lazy! I'm sure they had a McDonald's hamburger and a large milkshake to go along with it.Sad that the pre-teen has that for a role-model.
ReplyDeleteThat’s freakin' ridiculous! I bet the mother's mom did the same thing. ha ha on the McDonald's comment, that's what I was thinking! This world is getting worse and worse by the minute, I feel sorry for what my kids will have to deal with in the future.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been quite interesting! It amazing what you see out in the community and how people act sometimes is rideiculous.
